Photocromatic visors

Awhile back I was wondering why nobody made a visor that had the ability to change from tinted to clear (like eyeglasses). Was doing some research for a school project and came across this: http://www.acsastech.com/Products/sunshift.asp

Says their product isn't out on the market yet but should be out sometime soon. Is this the first company to come out with these? I admit I never did any major looking into it before, but also never saw anything like it when looking for new lids.

It would be cool if they had electrochromatic ones. Then you could adjust the tint.

Like Night Rider. lol

I use a Fog City anti-fog insert that reacts to light as well, and it's the absolute dog's b*llocks. On my second now. I use it with a Foggy Respro face-mask and basically ride in town, through the winter, with my visor down all the time and never fog up. In less demanding circs. you could do without the mask. It doesn't turn too dark too see anything if you hit a tunnel, just enough to take the glare out of your eyes. Plus it's washable.

Google them. Available both sides of the pond, I think. Do fit it very carefully, though.
