Abstract

Switchable privacy glass can electronically change its state between opaque and transparent. In this work, we propose to exploit the electronic configurability of switchable glass to modulate natural light, which can be demodulated by a nearby receiver with light sensing capability to realise data communication over natural light. A key advantage is that no energy is used to generate light, as it simply modulates the existing light in the nature. We demonstrate that the proposed data communication using switchable glass modulation can achieve 33.33 bits per second communication with a bit rate below 1% under a wide range of ambient luminance.
