[IxDA Discuss] creating temporary one-way mirror?

[Kristen Johansen]

You can accomplish this with removable automotive window
tinting film and lighting (keeping lighting very bright
in the lab and dark in the observation room).  Not
perfect, but it'll work for what you're describing.  Just
make sure you get the removable static cling kind,
instead of the adhesive.

Subject: [IxDA Discuss] creating temporary one-way
mirror?

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone ever turned a regular clear glass window into
a one-way mirror?

I'm hoping to change a big window between two conference
rooms into a one-way mirror (for use during usability
testing). It doesn't have to be perfect, just mostly
functional.

The catch is that I only have approval to do this
temporarily. I have several good leads on how to do this
permanently with various glass/film materials, but so far
I haven't convinced the powers-that-be.

I also don't know which of the various conference rooms
in the building is best suited for testing, so I like the
idea of trying each room before committing to anything
permanent.

Any related tips and hints greatly appreciated.
