I was reading my popular science magazine when I came across something that I knew I should post here.
What it is is a motorcycle visor that automatically tints when exposed to UV rays, ie. sunlight. This reminded me of the visor in the ODST live action trailer, that went from clear to tinted just before the ODST went into combat. The visor has a coating sensitive to UV rays that will darken the more that are present. Then I got to thinking, if somebody wanted to make this tint automatically, when indoors where there is less UV for example, you could put UV Leds behind the visor, and turn them on when you want to change from clear to tinted.
The visors are $100, a bit pricey, but would be cool for somebody who wanted to go all out on their suit.
