The invention consists of a wall that has two panes of glass and compressible elements between that control the amount of light passing into a room. The screen moves with Shape Memory Alloys, contracting and expanding when responding to an electric current. It is anticipated that remote sensors can be used to track the movement of the sun throughout the day, triggering movement with precise control. Patentability has been pursued.
