Purchase a sheet of two-way mirror Mylar film which can be applied to windows for solar insulation and for interior privacy from the people on the outside during the day.

It should be applied to a window clearly visible from the outside.

During very bright sunshine it will be transparent from the inside, but a mirror for the people on the outside. During dark days or times of shifting cloud cover, as well as during the time between sunset and twilight, the view from inside the house will be as reflective and as transparent as the view from outside the house, superimposing reflected images of people and living space inside the house on top of images of the space outside the house. As the light changes, the regime of transparency opposed to reflectiveness will be in continuous flux. |
