Glass Bridges are here to Stay


Radio Zeeland Glass Navigation Console

Visualisation and interaction go hand in hand when designing panels. Where straightforward hardwiring from power relay to buttons was once enough, nowadays yachts require far more. Aesthetics play a part when integrating 3rd party elements in a custom panel. Panel design, layout and dimming should include all elements and be adapted to the overall panel look-and-feel.

Although a lot of custom panels are still designed with foil sandwich technology, almost anything is possible.

Recently Radio Zeeland DMP introduced innovative glass panels with glass switch technology, enabling unheard of design possibilities.

The fully tailor-made glass panels are precisely shaped and colour tempered with ceramic ink. With capacitive switches, small electronic fields are generated through the glass. Selective disturbance of the electronic field results in the desired signal and effect. By means of integrated LED and light conductors, functions can be visualised as desired.

Whether a panel consists of glass, foil, metal or wood, our ultimate design goal is to create a custom panel, which blends in smoothly in the interior design in terms of shape, layout and colour, without loosing the possibilities of modern technology and ease of operation.

For more information talk to your local electronics company or visit www.radiozeeland.com to learn about this latest technology.

Tragedy in Sydney Harbor
May 02 , 2008

Sydney Boating Accident Death Toll Rises to 6

Early Thursday morning, a fishing boat and a cabin cruiser collided in the Sydney Harbor , and has resulted in six deaths and eight injuries so far.



One of the victims, 25-year-old Jessica Holloway is from Texas, and was reportedly working in as a youth worker.

All victims were aboard the 23-foot half-cabin cruiser, which was licensed to carry eight people but had 14 aboard when the crash occurred. They ranged in age from late teen to early 30’s, and with the exception of Holloway, all were Australian.

Witnesses indicate the group took the boat out for a late-night tour of the harbor after drinking at a nearby hotel.

Police declined to speculate about the cause of the collision, but said alcohol, speed, and lighting would be investigated, as well as whether the victims were wearing lifejackets.

The crash occurred near the Bradley's Head area of the harbor, home to Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge landmarks.

The owner of the cabin cruiser said they had not given anyone permission to take it out on Thursday morning. The company suspects a former contractor for the company may have taken the boat for a joyride as he was among the injured.

Let this be a reminder to think about safety while boating, and how boating and drinking- just as drinking and driving- are not a good combination! Use good sound judgement while enjoying yourself on the water, and remember that it is just as dangerous to boat, as it is to drive! Splashvision sends it condolences and prayers to the victims and their families.

Do you have any video footage of ‘near misses’? Upload them to SplashVision today, and share how paramount safety is on the water!

Be safe out there Guys and Gals!

That’s a wrap!
