Very rarely do I get excited about TV-related technology, probably because I don’t watch much TV. This beautiful creation from Samsung is an exception though.
This transparent screen will fit any window up to 46 inches at a resolution of 1366 x 768. The thing is completely see-through, but what you’re viewing on the screen is completely private from those outside. It’s fully controlled by your touch, and reminds us of a scene right out of Minority Report or Mission: Impossible.
Check out this quick demo, which shows a cool option to pull down blinds when you’re tired of looking outside:
There’s no word on when these will become available yet or how much they’ll cost, but the rumor is that they may go into production within the next month.
The Smart Window has installed widgets and will let you watch regular TV and movies on it, so it’s not just for show. Can you imagine putting one of these in every room of your house?

Whoah! Exceptionally cool.
awesome product – terrible review. guess I’ll be trying to scrape the web for more into on this one…
I think I would turn it the other way around. Show stuff to the outsiders walking by and entertain the insiders by people watching the outsiders.
You could have some interesting people watching experiences. Have a bunch of recorded segments. A beach scene with hot bods, …
The insiders could control what scene is playing. Then they could watch the outsiders watch it.
won’t be impressed until I can start tweeting from my window ;). Seriously this is sick and I can predict apps will be available as well.
