Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0106082A1] A variable view window (10) which enables a user to change the views possible through the window (10) from a given perspective point. One embodiment includes two variable prisms (47, 49, 39, 43, 41), a temperature regulating element (45), mounting structures (31) having actuators (29, 33), and software to operate the prisms. This structure maximizes refraction, controls dispersion and minimizes physical motion.
