Systems and methods for obscuring glares that are present on a windshield, mirror other surface of a vehicle are presented. The systems and methods comprise first and second sets of CCD cameras, where the first set is used to provide information about a source of a glare and the second set is used to provide information about eyes of a driver, for example. Based on the information gathered, locations of the source of the glare and the driver's eyes can be triangulated, and a position where light from the source of the glare is incident on the windshield or other surface can be determined. A translucent spot can be generated at that position to obscure the glare (light) from reaching the driver's eyes.
