    I don't know about you folks but it would be awesome if this technology could be applied to playfield glass somehow. No need to put scores on targets. Actual flames coming out of dragons mouth....explosion....instructions, score displays etc... This would add another dimension.

    Quoted from ls1chris:

    smart glass, been around a while, my friend barry been doing neat things with it . he did bathroom partitions in a restaurant that shaded out when you close the stall door.
    this would have been awesome on the Hobbit, smaug multiball , flying dragon breathing fire all across the playfeild .

    /yeah I remember seeing all this stuff at CES 2012 and automatically thought about pinball. The privacy glass you are talking about is even older. An lectrical current flows throught the glass to make it opaque. It's really cool stuff.
