Basically they are going to use specific vibrations in order to push the rain off the glass. You won't be able to actually see the 'force field'.

wonder what the threshold will be for repelling debris.  I would imagine a human being wouldn't be deflected by sound waves.  So what about mud, dirt clumps, leaves, etc.

It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

That's what I was wondering, too.  Still, interesting!
