TECHNICAL FIELD & BACKGROUND
During the brightest times of the day, people often need window-tinting devices to reduce light glare. As the light outside subsides, the need for tinting glass and other windows declines. However, common tinting products cannot be adjusted according to the necessity of the moment. Many times a user's options are limited to very light or very dark tinting, which are only suitable for specific light conditions. Having too much or too little tinting on a window can cause users to strain and harm or even damage their eyes. This can also pose dangers for drivers driving any type of vehicle, as car accidents can occur if window visibility is poor due to bad tinting.
The present invention generally relates to a window tinting system. More specifically, the invention is an adjustable window tinting system and method of use.
It is an object of the invention to provide an adjustable window tinting system and method of use that allows a user to regulate and control the shade and color of windows and other glass according to their respective personal preference. It is an object of the invention to provide an adjustable window tinting system and method of use that utilizes wireless technology that is synchronized to pixilated decals, which can be operated and controlled by a remote control.
It is an object of the invention to provide an adjustable window tinting system and method of use that a user can easily adjust the intensity of tint and color of their tinted window system using a knob-controlled remote control.
It is an object of the invention to provide an adjustable window tinting system and method use that can be used for cars, homes, office buildings, airplanes or any structure that has windows or glass.
