A very public convenience…

[jjc]

Okay, there's a public loo in Houston made out of one-way glass.

Here it is from the outside…

I think jjc's original post clearly answers your question in both words ("one-way glass"), and in pictures - i.e. the image from outside (can you see in?) then from the inside...

As to whether I could - why not! It'd give the wanabee exhibitionist in me an outlet without subjecting the world to the horrors inside :lol: !!!

[lassieinfife]

Cant see I would have a problem with it if i was desperate enough :mad: :)

What happens at night if it's lit inside? ;)

[scotsboy]

:lol: Would it need to be lit inside - it could use the ambient light from outside, assuming there was adequate streetlighting.

[webmannie]

That's cool.

I'd be dancing around inside naked going yeeeeehah!!

So why doesn't the "criminal suspect" see the detectives in the next room? The answer lies in the lighting of the two rooms. The room in which the glass looks like a mirror is kept very brightly lit, so that there is plenty of light to reflect back from the mirror's surface. The other room, in which the glass looks like a window, is kept dark, so there is very little light to transmit through the glass. On the criminal's side, the criminal sees his own reflection. On the detectives' side, the large amount of light coming from the criminal's side is what they see. In many ways, it's the same as if people were whispering in one room while a loud stereo played in the other. The sound of the whisper might carry into the room with the stereo, but it would be drowned out by the intensity of the music.

If the lights in the room with the mirror are suddenly turned out, or the lights in the observation room suddenly turned on, then the one-way mirror becomes a window, with people in each room able to see those in the other. You can see this effect in any mirrored office building at night -- if the light is on in an office, you can see into the office just fine.

So not the place to be during a total eclipse!!!

Imagine the fun if you turned the glass around [lol]
