All-Glass Bathrooms Debut in Texas Town
http://j.mp/UZnUpC (ABC)
"Caddell said at night while standing outside, she could see the light
from her son's cell phone inside the bathroom but she couldn't see his
hand holding it, or anything else. David Gideon of the Commercial
Glass & Mirror Company built the glass for the structure and he says
they had to build several prototypes before finding the right
combination of glass that you couldn't see into. In order for the
illusion to work properly, the outside of the structure must be more
lit than the inside, said Gideon. These bathrooms have no lights on
the inside and in order to see at night, LED lights were placed on the
outside of the structure, for the illusion to remain."

Of course, as fans of "one-way" glass will tell ya', you actually can
see the "wrong way" through quite clearly and completely by cupping
your hands around your eyes against the glass (or even better, using a
short cardboard tube or some such). Cameras work too if you can get a
good tight fit against the glass either directly or indirectly.
Surprise!
