Tractor GPS with DayVue Anti-Reflective Screen Protectors Makes Farming Easier

Increasingly, larger farms are relying on technology to help maximize the crop yield in the field. Whether its a tractor, combine or other large farm equipment you will find GPS devices such as the John Deere 2600, the Edge from AgLeader and the AgGPS Field Manager from Trimble. These are used for farm planning, crop scouting, tractor navigation and yield-mapping.

By evaluating your sowing density and by properly estimating your fertilizer needs, you can maximize your crop yields while simultaneously keeping fertilization costs down. You really can’t effectively assess local soil and climate conditions without global positioning capabilities. However, you won’t be able to effectively perform your job if you are not able to read your display. When the sun is close to the horizon at sunrise or sunset, you find that glare interferes with your ability to see the display. Continue reading

How NuShield’s DayVue Helps PGA Pros Analyze Golf Swings

A tablet display without NuShield protection

There’s a science to golf, just like there is to any sport.

And as with most sciences, the discipline of swinging a golf club is one that’s aided by advances in technology. With a camera or a tablet or a Smartphone at the driving range, you have a visual interpretation of your swing.

But those visual aids are only useful as long as you can see the screen. Sunlight reflected off an LCD screen can force golfers and instructors into the shade to review their swings, thus disrupting the lesson.

To combat this problem, the Professional Golf Association of America — commonly known as the PGA  — has turned to NuShield to find a solution that allows tablets, Smartphones, and other mobile computing devices to be better visual teaching tools.

How NuShield Helps the Staff at SeaWorld

SeaWorld is a place that has a combination of attributes: It is both entertaining and important.

With the safety and happiness of many marine mammals, fish, and other sea creatures in the hands of the SeaWorld staff, these professionals require top-of-the-line technology to ensure the facility’s operations run smoothly and efficiently.

The staffers at SeaWorld employ Microsoft Surface 3 tablets to keep everything on track.  A specialized software tracks the feeding and medicating of the various fish and mammals in the staffers’ care.

But here’s where things get a little tricky: These employees spend a great deal of their workday outside in the Florida sunshine, which often causes substantial glare on their Surface devices. In addition to problems that can be caused by the sun, SeaWorld’s team members obviously spend much of their time around water, and most of that is saltwater.

Saltwater can cause dual damage to unprotected devices: Water itself is, of course, a foe to electronics. And salt can cause corrosion to occur. The graininess of salt can also make it difficult to use and clean these touchscreen tablets.

In search of a remedy to the sun and salt situations, SeaWorld explored the various technologies offered by NuShield. The optimal solution was the DayVue film.

Why Cruise Ship Technology Needs NuShield Now

If you’ve been working in the cruise ship industry for, say, 10 or 15 years, you’ve almost certainly noticed some changes to cruise ship technology.

Prior to the late 1990s, or perhaps even the early part of the 21st century, for instance, most ship pursers were still keeping the majority of their financial records on actual paper.

A cruise line’s marketing manager spent a good portion of their day working the (land line) phones in those days, long before Facebook or Twitter have even been conceived. A housekeeping administrative assistant carried her marching orders around on a clipboard, not a tablet computer. A shore excursion manager was forced to find a payphone if something went wrong, and a call back to the ship was deemed necessary. Today, they wouldn’t dream of walking onto land without a fully charged smartphone.

If you Ride a Motorcycle, the DayVue Film Is a Must-Have Accessory for your GPS or Radio Display

For most true motorcycle enthusiasts, there’s simply nothing quite like the experience of getting out on the open road. There’s the sun overhead. The wind whipping by. The road stretching out before you in a never-ending ribbon of possibilities.

However, if you have a GPS device or LCD display radio panel, your leisurely ride can quickly turn into a struggle, and perhaps even a dangerous situation. Continue reading

How the North Carolina Legislature Used NuShield to See Clearly

One of the great things about the democratic process is that citizens have proper representation to help make their voices heard.

Technology has made amazing strides in streamlining the voting process. But sometimes everyday inhibitions put up barriers to success that aren’t even obvious at first glance.

Recently, the North Carolina state legislature learned how problematic beautiful aesthetics can be when its newly-installed, 70-inch digital Sharp television monitors came into conflict with the House Chamber’s chandeliers.

Here’s what happened:

Reduce Glare in the Boardroom with NuShield

You’ve put in hundreds of hours preparing for the big presentation, poring over every detail before heading into the boardroom.

You have the screen ready for the presentation, but when the meeting gets started, you find that sunlight is coming through the windows, making the presentation screen nothing but one big glare.

Closing the blinds or curtains removes some of the glare, but now you have to deal with overhead lights inside the room.

If this scenario sounds all too familiar, the time has come to talk with the IT/AV person in charge of the video display.  The NuShield anti-glare screen protector film was created for this type of situation to keep the display visible, even with sunlight pouring in, easy on the eyes and the presentation going smoothly.

Reduce Glare on Your Outdoor TV with NuShield

With a protective NuShield film, glare on your outdoor TV is a thing of the past.

Today’s TVs are thinner than ever, bigger than ever, and able to produce the most amazing pictures. What’s more, having a big TV outside lets you watch your sports or favorite show from the pool, deck or inside your screen porch.

These magnificent flat-screens, however, have one major shortcoming: the glare. This is caused by the UHD TV’s glossy display, which has a tendency to reflect light. In order to create the Ultra High Definition image on today’s TV, manufacturers cannot use the anti-glare matte finish coating that used to diminish reflective glare.

If the TV is in your home, you could simply use blinds or blackout curtains to eliminate the glare during the day. But when you go outside, your TV is practically converted into an expensive mirror that reflects its surroundings.

Flying With a Tablet? Don’t Fly With Glare

A pilot checks his tablet with ease, thanks to NuShield’s DayVue antireflective film.

You’re a pilot, flying at 10,000 feet. And because it is the year 2015, you’re using a tablet or a GPS device to help guide you to your destination.  You look down at your device to check for the next waypoint and the sunlight coming hits the display at just the right angle so that all you see is a big yellow dot in the middle of your screen. You can’t see anything, and you start turning and twisting the device, experimenting with different angles to see your display.

Preventing Screen Glare

In the cockpit, it’s imperative that when you glance at the display you can easily read the information, regardless of sunshine. NuShield’s DayVue antireflective film takes care of the distraction for you without you having to contort your body into uncomfortable positions. This light canceling film works like noise canceling headphones. It blocks reflected glare and provides superior scratch resistance adding to the longevity of your display.

Is Your Computer Screen Ruining Your Health?

How you can protect yourself from headaches caused by the blue light emitted from your LED monitor

If you’re someone whose job involves sitting in front of a computer for eight hours a day and staring into its monitor, you’ve probably read an article or two — or perhaps seen a news report, or maybe even had a conversation — about the negative effect that blue light emanating from screens can have on our eyesight, and even on our overall health.

According to leading ophthalmologists, the problem is largely a result of continuous, long-term exposure to the light produced not only by computer monitors, but also from tablets, flat-screen LED TVs (such as those manufactured by Samsung, Sony, and LG), and OLED TVs with curved screens, including the very newest models from Panasonic, Samsung, and LG. A report from GigaOm’s technology research platform, meanwhile, revealed that long-term exposure to blue light after dark can lead to chronic insomnia, and even breast cancer.

“Being in the presence of light at night disrupts the body’s natural circadian rhythms by suppressing the production of [the sleep hormone known as] melatonin,” according to the report’s author. “But melatonin does far more than help us get sleepy — it’s also an antioxidant that appears to play a pivotal role in slowing the progression of cancer and other diseases.”
