Abstract
A method of improving visibility for a person viewing an environment through a window includes detecting a light condition in the environment and, in responses to nature of the detected light condition, activating an illumination system adjacent an edge of the window to direct light into the window. The light is of the proper intensity and a wavelength to improve visibility of the environment as viewed through the window. The light condition may be detected by an environmental sensor and the illumination system activated based on signals generated by the environmental sensor.
