Window tint that can be turned on/off
 

I saw it in a movie, lol. Is it real? With the flip of a switch it went from clear to thick smokey white that you couldnt see through. I could use these in my hot tub room.

yeah, ive seen them in some showers.

I have a friend who works at a major telephone company, and we took a tour into the control room overlooking the entire network... he flipped a switch and every wall turned to glass... you could see the entire network operations floor and all the maps of call routing and node status and everything... it was cool as fucking hell. Then they flipped it back and every wall turned back into some frosted glass.... very very cool stuff indeed... probably expensive as hell to install..

yah i saw it in walt disney once when they took us for a tour of the back rooms.
they showed how the artist work and then BAM to hide all material.

sounds pretty neat :thumbsup

you would think i'd be able to find this shit then. you saw them in person?

saw it in a conference room I was in last week.
believe....

I'd bet the glass is filled with some sort of chemicals/objects that when a current is applied the chemical/object becomes opaque/moves.

Seen it a couple times. pretty sweet imo

It's not really a tint..it's an LCD film laminated within the glass, that when an electric current is applied, turns opaque giving privacy, then returns to clear when switched off.

I'd love to have something like that in my vehicles

I know a guy who has it over his number plates. No lie. Works out pretty well when there is a speed camera.

Niiice. thanks for the links. Now to find price

I remember seeing it on CSI-Miami one night also. It could be turned on and off in private booths in a bar.

Some more info from a manufacture, and they have a link to where to by.

Now if they put it together with the TO2 self cleaning windows, I would be in heaven.

this has literally been around for decades..

it was done in the 60's but never caught on .

amtrack trains were going to use it i believe

i remember seeing a video of it ages ago and thought that it would be used in tons of places today.

what is it is 2 planes of glass with some chemical in between the glass, when given a charge the chemical allows 0 light thru .. so from clear to black..

would be great in so many places.

I was actually looking into this for the house we're about to build, but it's hard to find a residential product. I'm not sure it can be used on external windows, so far I've only seen it on interior ones.

Those sage ones require power to stay tinted, some require power to GO opaque, in the former case a power failure could be fun :)

Thats pretty F'n cool!

its called electro-static glass i think

here's one in a public washroom... ps. check out that crazy toilet

that is damn cool

Using them for public toilets makes sense, but it's kinda creepy. What's wrong with a little light that says "engaged" ?

while functional, it does not have the Cool factor:winkwink:

These walls exist :) They are made of the same stuff LCD monitors are made of

Its liquid crystals which are transparant without electricity and turn foggy white with electricity on them .. pretty cool stuff
