Comglass. What is it? It's an entertainment system, a surveillance mechanism and, oddly enough, a pane of glass.

Comglass is made by Iteration X masters of Matter. It is a very advanced piece of technology, consisting of many layers of substances, each only molecules thick. Upon inspection, comglass looks like an ordinary sheet of glass with a small metal trim. Comglass does many things.

Foremost is comglass' sensors. Certain layers of the glass sense light going through them. Other layers that are just below the surface sense sound striking either side. The data from these layers is sent to one of the processor layers, where it is converted into a form that can be broadcast to Technomancer stations. This allows data analysts to see and hear whatever happens in view and earshot of a sheet of comglass.

Comglass can also absorb light. To make this less conspicuous, it usually looks tinted. However, the glass can be changed from opaque to transparent if properly instructed. Comglass can make sound and produce video images. The images are of such high quality that the human eye cannot tell the difference between the image and the real thing. These images can be semi transparent or opaque like normal video images.

Where is comglass used? Void Engineers and Iteration X engineers use it in HUD (Heads Up Display) units in vehicles and work stations. Progenitors and the Syndicate's people use it in portable notepads. The New World Order uses it for communications and espionage. The Traditions don't use it (knowingly), but you can be sure many of them are closer to some than they think.
