Vision Systems is introducing its new Opti-Visor dimmable cockpit visors.
The Opti-Visor from Vision Systems allows pilots to either dim their visors electronically or to allow the system to manage light levels automatically.  One version of the system is powered by transparent photovoltaic cells integrated in the cockpit windows.

Vision Systems (Booth C12545) is introducing its new Opti-Visor, which is an electronically dimmable visor for the cockpit. Using three buttons on the visor’s polycarbonate surface, pilots can adjust light levels or can opt to have these managed automatically through corrections to the level of tint in the visor. The new equipment operates without any wiring and has an integrated battery that is rechargeable. Another version of the same unit can be powered by transparent photovoltaic cells integrated into the cockpit windows.
