Default HIDEAWAY/digital LICENSE PLATE MODIFICATION

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS1eW3QlaQM

its a material called smart glass, its clear until switched on, once switched on it covers whatever its over. its used in bathrooms in manhattan, u see the toilet through the clear glass, and once u go into the stall it is switched on and u have your privacy.

Similar products have been mentioned here before and they're illegal in most states.

I've seen glass like that at the Terremark building in Miami. They had an entire wall of it and it was completely white, they flicked a switch and the wall was clear revealing a control center behind it. Really cool stuff!
