We need to invent a device that cancels out the light that comes through a glass window. Like noise canceling headphones but for light
You mean like... curtains?
Has science gone too far?
I don't know how America survives without roller shutters. It's blackout dark in my home whenever I want it to.
A lot of folks use blinds which are abject shit for keeping out light, blackout curtains are becoming more common but its still not the norm. Also im pretty sure the OOP is in a Hotel meaning thet prolly cant do any modifications, also if you want to go to Vegas assuming you have a car stay in one of the satellite towns, Primm, Boulder, or a KOA campground.
Huh Primm is an actual town, figured it was just a made up town from fallout new vegas
Nope its an actual place, most of the locations in NV are based off of real places. Theres even a crashed bomber in lake Mead.
Hotels almost always have blackout curtains.
In my experience they were black out curtains at one point in history, but are no longer due to way too many washes and solar breakdown.
Seems like Vegas is one of the few places that offers them
We have those. They're called walls.
Kinda like tinting a window?
Fun fact, most LED displays will only display a very specific wavelength of light for each primary color, if you can isolate the specific values of red, green, and blue, that the sphere uses in the LEDs in its displays, and get tint/filters for those wavelength ranges, you can effectively "tint" the windows where the sphere would be nearly impossible to see, while almost everything else would be fairly clear.
Almost all other light is broad spectrum, so even a single color item would reflect a much larger range of wavelengths than what the sphere produces, which may make red/green/blue objects less bright through the window, but they will still be observable, while the sphere is basically just black.
Would be interesting to take a look through such a window.
I can guarantee you that there are people researching "variable glass tinting"
That actually already exists. It's good tech, but more for out of reach areas or where moving parts would be an issue. For a regular home, curtains work better.
It makes more sense to outlaw devices that let you see through walls (windows).
