Smart Tech and the Tapestries at Hampton Court Palace

Constantina Vlachou, Senior Conservation Scientist, tells us about the new Smart Tint windows that have been installed in Hampton Court Palace's Great Watching Chamber to protect the Royal Collection 16th-century tapestries that hang there. This is the first time smart technology has been used in an historic building to control light levels.
