That glare can be a bear!

Some pretty cool research on glass glare has yielded awesome results with the "Invisible Glass." It doesn't seem to be a new type of glass or clear material, but rather a coating on either side that lets more light pass through then bounce off.

"According to our friends at Tech-On, the company has developed a new type of vitrine that reduces glare by using a special film on each side of the substrate, which allows more light to pass through the layers rather than bounce off the surface. Normal glass reflects around eight percent of light, while the new variety only rebounds 0.5 percent, dramatically reducing the luminous reflectance to around 0.1 percent or lower."

Here's the source article with an example image of what the Invisible Glass can do.
