  • My question is if there is a technology that can can turn trasparent glass into dark trasparent or complete black glass with the press of a button using the smart glass technology

  • I'm just an architecture student, so I don't know if they have different colors that it can change to (a darker tint), but I do know that there is a version that has adjustable opacity like a dimmer for a light, so you can adjust it.

  • I would install this glass in girls washroom and obviously control the switch mooooaaaaaahaaaaa!!!

  • This stuff is really cool. It works with liquid crystals... when there is no voltage applied the crystals are aligned randomly and make the glass not see thru. Now add a voltage and all the crystals line up and you can see thru the glass! It costs about $50 and up per square foot.

  • Some people walking past must see the flickering window and think they're in the matrix and there's some kind of glitch!

  • @RobertsDigital wow gotta check it out!

  • @bloodaid I found the solution.....Electrochromic glass. Those go from trasparent to dark trasparent. I discovered it from the windows of the boeing 787.

  • @RobertsDigital yes, think of one big LCD screen with one humungus pixel overing the whole glass!

  • "Congratulations on purchasing your new opaque windows! You're purchase comes guaranteed with absolute privacy no matter what application you use it for! For your living room, for your bedroom, and even for your shower stall door!"

    *flicks the switch*

    "Oops..."

  • Where you get it?

  • OH WOW, where can I buy that? I need some 11ft by 5ft pieces to go in a double glazed unit, with the possibility of selling thousands of them. I have been waiting a long time for this, we don't have anything like it here in the UK.

  • @Salieri325 Actually the car tuner mansory installed it in a rolls royce phantom - though they said if the battery mailfunctions, you cant see through the window anymore :D

  • @Kookas Well the thing is he couldnt see out of the window untill you hit the button :P
