i could be wrong but thought they use some sort of current run through the glass to make it happen. still would be sick to have. but it costs bank im sure.

This is new for film. My film guy was telling me about this whilst working on my Frozen. Its the same tech that has been around for years for glass (solid). All based on being an electrochromic device. The difficulty has been getting these particles to sit in a flexible film rather than glass, be reliable, and act consistently across the entire film.. oh and make it cheap, and easy to apply in custom fitments..

Pretty cool, and also it can be used to wrap your entire car. where by you can change the electrical charge across it at different voltages to change the translucency at different levels.. could be pretty cool and introduce some neat effects.

This has been around for decades but used to be very expensive and more complicated to make and implement. It wasnt tint, it was actual glass made from scratch with current going through it so you can make the glass tint on demand.

I saw this on a toilet about 5 years ago, when the stall door closed the entire cubicle glass frosted over. Very cool.

Mercedes has this now for some panorama sunroofs (MAGIC SKY CONTROL)!

http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicl...nology#modules

"A panorama sunroof with MAGIC SKY CONTROL alters its transparency by uniformly orienting particles embedded within its glass panel when electrical current is applied. At its darkest setting, the thermal energy entering the cabin is less than a household light bulb. And even in its fully transparent mode, both UV and infrared rays are effectively blocked, helping keep the cabin cooler."

They use similar technology for glass shower doors where a simple hit of a switch clouds the glass for privacy. I'm sure you guys saw that before.
