VideowindoW - Transform Windows Into Screens

🎉 NEW PRE-SEED INVESTMENT 🎉 We are excited to announce our investment in VideowindoW, a Glass and Prop-Tech startup transforming everyday windows into transparent video screens.    ❓ Why We Invest - VideowindoW - Transform Windows Into Screens’s segmented tintable glass is a breakthrough in sustainable building technology. By reducing carbon footprints and supporting sustainability goals, it offers a unique innovation: functioning as a transparent video screen that uses sunlight as a natural backlight for dynamic content. This combination of energy efficiency, adaptability, and immersive functionality makes it a transformative investment. ❕ The Technology - VideowindoW transforms glass façades into adaptive, transparent displays. The segmented glass dynamically adjusts to sunlight, enhancing energy efficiency and glare control, while integrated software customises content to complement building designs. Beyond sustainability, VideowindoW unlocks new revenue streams by enabling property owners to monetise glass façades with dynamic displays for wayfinding, entertainment, and tenant engagement. 💡 The Market - The primary market focus is on large-scale buildings, including public transportation hubs such as airports and train stations, as well as office buildings, where glare control and energy efficiency are critical. VideowindoW also adds value through features like wayfinding, information display, gamification, and soothing or entertaining content, enhancing both functionality and user experience. 👥 The Team - VideowindoW is led by a founding team with complementary expertise. CEO Remco Veenbrink brings creative vision, CFO Mark Oudenhoven has a background in finance, and CTO Francisco Ayala Le Brun focuses on the technology. Together, they combine strengths in art, economics, and technology to deliver innovative solutions for modern architecture. We are excited to support VideowindoW’s mission to improve sustainability in building design while enhancing the functionality and visual appeal of large-scale structures.

I got interesting news from Remco Veenbrink and their new developments since I visited in their office in June. The consortium of Arnold Glas, LamiPress, and VideowindoW - Transform Windows Into Screens is presenting a 45m² segmented tintable glass façade at "Glass Technology Live," showcasing the future of glare control and smart building integration. By combining expert façade design, advanced glass laminates, and sensor-driven systems, this façade adapts to environmental conditions to optimize energy consumption and improve occupant comfort. Sensors collect real-time data to adjust light transmittance and thermal properties, reducing the need for artificial lighting and climate control.   A key feature is Biophilic Glare Control, which mimics natural patterns to manage glare while enhancing well-being. Inspired by nature, this dynamic system controls 72 million pixels in a seamless 12K image, creating an immersive environment that balances functional glare control with aesthetic appeal. The use of procedural content, such as shifting light patterns, reduces eye strain and provides a more comfortable experience.   This innovation represents the first step toward standardizing smart façades that not only manage light and temperature but also serve as communication platforms. While testing for solar and thermal performance is ongoing, initial results are promising. Attendees at "Glass Technology Live" can experience the dynamic potential of this façade throughout the exhibition, highlighting the consortium’s commitment to advancing sustainable, responsive building technologies.

I am excited to announce that in the past few months, I have successfully completed my MSc in Building Technology at Delft University of Technology. 🎓 💫 My thesis, titled 'The Effect of Biophilic Glare Control on Occupant Perception: A Laboratory Experiment' evaluates occupant perception under different pattern scenarios exposed in a dynamic facade technology by VideowindoW - Transform Windows Into Screens and presents a novel experimental setup in an office setting. Daylight plays a crucial role in promoting well-being, health, and performance, particularly in workspaces. However, achieving an optimal balance between natural light exposure and glare control remains a significant challenge in modern facade design. Conventional shading systems often limit access to daylight, affecting both visual comfort and productivity. To address this, adaptive facade systems offer innovative solutions by dynamically adjusting to changing light conditions. The focus of my research was on VideowindoW product, a dynamic facade technology consisting of liquid crystals that can alter the optical properties of the glazing, designed to improve indoor environmental quality through biophilic patterns. The experimental study evaluated occupant perception under different pattern scenarios with the same average transparency—tree pattern, striped pattern and no-pattern—in a controlled office lab. Various aspects such as glare perception, visual comfort, daylight satisfaction, view satisfaction, and aesthetic preferences were systematically assessed through experiments with 44 human participants. Physical measurements and subjective responses were collected and analyzed to identify differences among the scenarios. Key findings revealed that the tree pattern significantly reduced glare compared to the striped pattern and showed a tendency to reduce glare compared to the no-pattern condition. Participants overwhelmingly preferred the tree pattern for its aesthetic appeal and connection to nature. They also reported greater acceptance of view obstruction with the tree and no-pattern conditions compared to the striped pattern. These results suggest that incorporating biophilic patterns into facade designs can enhance occupant satisfaction and support the integration of automated shading systems.
