The possibility of using switchable glass (also called
smart windows) technology for Evolvable Hardware tasks
is suggested in this paper. Switchable glass technology basically
means controlling the transmission of light through
windows by using electrical power. By applying a variable
voltage to the window we can continuously vary the
amount of transmitted light. Three existing technologies are
reviewed in this paper: Electrochromic Devices, Suspended
Particle Devices and Liquid Crystal Devices. An Evolvable
Hardware application for a light-based device is described.
The proposed device can be used for solving an entire class
of problems, instead of one problem only as in the case of
other dedicated hardware.
