In the movie, the window Glasses were actually made of See-Through Touch Displays and hence JARVIS was able to make it turn from black to transparent and also display weather stats on it. But, in reality, we are far away from See-through touch screens, and the closer we can get is to control window blinds or constraints automatically.
So, in this project, we are going to build exactly that, we will build an automated motorized blind that would open and close automatically at pre-defined times.

Manually opening and closing the slats means twisting a rod. Seems straightforward to automate that, but as usual when having to work around something that already exists, making no permanent alterations, complications arose. The blinds are only 1 inch wide, leaving little room for mounting any sort of hardware. While there is a lot of prior art when it comes to automating blinds, nothing he found actually fit the situation [Chris] had, so he rolled his own.
