GlassVu will fulfill your every desire.

Assuming that you lead a full and satisfied life and just need a rear projection screen and then you will be totally happy.

Pixels

Our forward-scattering characteristics generate pixel-free images without color shift when the viewing angle changes. If only your projector was that good (it's not). You just may find yourself shopping for an upgrade after experiencing a GlassVu performance.

Dimensions

The GlassVu Clear and Charcoal foils measure 1524 millimeters across and are offered in 5 meter long rolls. If you happen to need a 5 foot wide roll that is 196 inches long, you are in luck. If that comes up short and you'd prefer a longer custom roll at a pro rata cost, let us know.

Viewing

GlassVu Charcoal is a high-contrast display that provides a full, rich image that captures the projected light for both sides to see. Clear keeps the view from inside and out near transparent when there is no projection and creates a see-through image when the projector is on.

Performance

GlassVu rear projection foil accurately captures colors and contrasts created by the projector which is otherwise the strongest or weakest link. Life expectancy is pretty much forever unless you can figure out a way to wear out polyester without resorting to Disco.

Power

The only power required for GlassVu is going to the projector and the media source. Once installed, Clear or Charcoal will remain happily unattended, asking for nothing more than an occasional gentle caress with a soft dry cloth to remove dust. A little more to the left please.

Installation

Like most things in life, a bit of patience and attention to detail will produce a much better result than a hurried application that is more influenced by meeting a deadline than creating a lasting impression that leaves little for improvement. Scroll down for specifics.

The Sales Pitch

About Telematics

Telematics is a federally-incorporated company based in Vancouver since 2000. Our global partners manufacture innovative LED display panels, cabinets, curtains, interactive video floors and the systems that control them. We distribute the world's most advanced touch skins and rear projection films that turn any window into a massive display.

Our high-volume relationship with our manufacturers and low corporate profile allows us to provide aggressive pricing and personalized service to a world-wide network of principals and project managers in the audio-video and digital signage industry. We also sell directly to businesses and individuals who select and install their own systems with the assistance of local tradesmen and engineers.

GlassVu

Over the years we have sold countless rolls of GlassVu to customers around the world who have deployed it in theatrical staging and corporate events, showroom windows and movie sets, control panels and art installations.
 
We varied our models to include mirrored properties, darker or lighter colors and even double-sided adhesive-free units. But mostly our clients pretty much wanted either Clear or Charcoal for their installations.
 
With several choices for the length and 1.5 meters wide (5' for you baby-boomers), our clients would usually select 5 meters as the perfect length for their projects.
 
By limiting our models to 5-meter rolls of GlassVu Clear and GlassVu Charcoal we determined we could greatly reduce our costs and provide next-day delivery to most anywhere on the planet. Which is exactly what we have done.
 
When choosing GlassVu, the level of ambient light in your installation is a critical factor.
 
Most storefront installations call for Charcoal which offers great performance with the caveat that too much sunlight directly shining on a window will wash out any projection. This may be fine if the projection is not expected to perform for those affected hours, while looking great for the balance of the day and night.
 
If your installation only calls for dusk-to-dawn use, or where the light is controlled in an indoor setting, either a Clear or Charcoal screen should be ideal. The Clear has the additional benefit of being virtually transparent during business hours when activity in a store or restaurant may attract additional customers.

Our Manufacturers

GlassVu is our own branded product manufactured in Asia alongside sophisticated films that wrap shiny rides in even shinier shades of precious metals, cover patio doors and car windows in solar tints and security skins and block infrared sunlight from office boardrooms.

The high contrast GlassVu Charcoal is the default choice for most applications that require a large format alternative to expensive LCD monitors for creative and messaging applications. Our GlassVu Clear is often used in Pepper's Ghost applications or simply for after-hours installations that don't need to battle daylight.

In 2022 GlassVu is very much a specialty product for us that is most often partnered with a Displax Skin to turn a storefront window into a massive interactive display.

With our new packaging and pricing, we expect GlassVu will continue to be an easy choice for rear projection installations everywhere.

Our Clients

For 20 years we have developed business relationships with thousands of people from every corner of the world.

Many are AV Professionals and Consultants who need to source premium equipment for their clients or their own rental inventory for the entertainment industry. Others are Architects and Designers looking for solutions to create fantastic high-resolution LED displays spanning a wall of an office or the facade of a building. And some are end-users prepared to take on the challenge of setting up their own digital displays for their storefronts.

In each case, we provide our customers with the answers they need and endeavour to offer solutions that are affordable, effective and reliable.

And we always keep their secrets to ourselves.


Checklist

Don't drive yourself crazy trying to figure out the series and correct specifications and dimensions for your project. Just contact our offices and in ten minutes we can review everything and find out what works best for the space and the budget. There...I'm feeling better already.

Order

More often than not, we will have exactly the right roll and model of GlassVu in inventory and ready to be packaged and shipped the same week. When that is not the case, one or more custom rolls can be readied for shipment within as little as two weeks from ordering.

Ship

We always ship your order by FedEx Air or Ground, to a depot or to your door, so your new GlassVu is in your hands as soon as possible. While this generally just means a few days to delivery, note that shipping schedules and Customs clearance are outside of our control.

Start

If you have never attempted to apply polyester films with water-activated adhesives to glass, now is not the time to learn. Contact a qualified installer such as someone from a local glass shop who is experienced with tinting windows and with the patience to do the job right.

Mark

Clean and rinse the glass. Then clean it again. And once more. The difference between great and adequate will come from this extra effort. Mark out the target position of the GlassVu with removable painter's tape placed at two or more alignment points on the glass.

Spray

Spray down the glass with a mixture of distilled water and mild detergent. Peel back a portion of the liner and spray as the adhesive is exposed. Lay the GlassVu onto the glass while pulling back the remaining liner and spraying down both surfaces. No dry contact points please!

Water

Begin to work any excess water outward to the edges from the center, keeping the surface wet and the GlassVu within the tape markers. Use a soft wet cloth covering a rubber edge to avoid marking the foil. Watch for any debris while there is still time to remove it.

Pools

As the adhesive quickly dries and causes the film to pull tightly to the glass, note that small pools of water may begin to collect. Resist the overwhelming urge to pop them with a needle. Work any remaining water out to the edge of the GlassVu before the adhesive sets.

Finish

Continue to check for any small pools forming under the GlassVu for the next hour and work them to the edge. Once the adhesive is completely dry in 48 hours, put up a little note beside it or tell any staff equipped with cleaning products:
★ DO NOT CLEAN ★
