Web-Surfing Windows

Samsung 'Smart Window' is Touchable and Transparent at CES 2012

Instead of hooking up your laptop in the kitchen to watch your favorite shows while you cook, instate the Samsung 'Smart Window' OLED TV that is transparent, letting you use outside light to light up your screen. If it’s too dark, don’t worry: the screen will light up on its own. Environmentalists would be pleased to know this product also runs efficiently using nearly 10% of the electricity that a regular LCD screen would.

Exactly like a one-way mirror, this piece makes ensures passersby will not be able to view the users on-screen content from the outside, and will only see a mirror, which is a pretty awesome security measure. Another neat feature for these windows is the blinds application: it covers the window in blinds that the owner can turn to let more or less light through the window. The window can be used to follow social networking sites as well, making it easier to work around the home while keeping up-to-date.

The Samsung Smart Window is said to be near release, so it will be available to upgrade home living very soon.
