you know you are talking to an engineer when they say

Non-emissive material with reflective light-diffuser modules

instead of "mirrors"

I believe most mirrors can't turn their reflectivity on and off based on an electric current.

I could be totally wrong about mirrors though

[–] leftzero@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

You just haven't turned the current high enough.
