I can't see the 'youtube', I'm at work but the webikeworld one is a different technology than the what the OP was talking about (I believe).
Photochromic is reactive to light (similar to what people have in their eyeglasses). Personally, I don't like my photochromic glasses because they take too long to shift and they don't work inside cars. But for a bike helmet this wouldn't be an issue.
I think the OP was talking about Smart Glass. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_glass). The only problem I see for using this technology on a helmet would be the power source. You would need a rechargeable battery or have it hard wired to the bike.

FTA,
The electrochromic visors will be powered by the A.C.S.A.S. "M5 Switchblade" power system, which was described in the webBikeWorld reviews of the AFX FX-11 Lightforce helmet, where it's used to power the built-in fan and LED light and also in the Shoei Syncrotec Police Helmet, where the system is used to power an LED light.
its a flip the switch and its a slide down shade ? and I have best of both worlds and vents but no power and I don't have to wait for my helmet to charge to get moving ? but surely not long till someone has solar system if they have light up paint ?
