They better have one hell of a fan in the guys section...

This was on CSI a while back. In that, the glass was actually an LED screen (no backlight) that went semi-opaque when the door was shut, which closed a circuit that powered the screen.

Bar 89 also has awesome Bar food and Foofy drinks.

Probably the best BLT I ever ate.

there are a bunch of places in Scottsdale, AZ that have these stalls.

I think a current passes through the glass which causes the change in opacity... I remember reading about that somewhere. Don't take my word for it, though.

I would think it was cool if it was operated by a switch inside the stall. Being automatic, I wouldn't feel confidant enough that it will work to use it.

wow those ***** helio oceans have great pic quality I didnt even realize it was a camera phone till they mentioned it.

I've seen this before in another place. I believe there is some sort of gas between two plates of glass and when it becomes electrified (lock circuit closed) the gas turns translucent. It works as fast as turning on a light bulb.

American eagle uses the same doors for their dressing rooms, its heat sensitive

dont hate me for knowing this...

Sloan's Ice Cream in Florida also has a liquid crystal bathroom door like that. I think theirs was the first one.

Ten years ago, this was a hot story. Come on Digg, try to stay current.

Wasn't this on Dave Attel's Insomniac a while back

Useful. After all, if I'm going to buy a girl a drink, I'd like to know what she looks like when she wipes her ass first.

I hate these weird trendy bathrooms in night clubs. I wish they just made them bigger and keep em simple to ease congestion. Also, unisex is never a good idea for a bathroom, I don't want to hear girls making "sounds" or see what they actually look like in the bright bathroom light.

I can't wait to take a crap while taking in the beautiful view of a random middle-aged man standing outside the stall.

Then again, it could also be a woman.. but then I guess I wouldn't be crapping.

The video was better

I guess no one watches real world? This was on last season's real world.

Totally did that like two years ago in Splinter Cell Chaos Theory...

What's the big deal? Who takes a ***** at a bar anyways? Just *****, do your coke, and leave.

An electrical current passes through the glass to make it transparent. In other words, it is "frosted glass" when it is in the "off" position. If the power goes out or their is a malfunction, it simply stays "frosted".

should be called poopgadget.com

they did this on pimp my ride as well works kinda like an lcd with the current passing through the glass and exciting particles inside the glass changing the color

Wow. This bar has been open far too long for this to be any sort of talk. The bar is a nice place though.

Nowhere to do lines. Buried.

omg, there are 3 resturaunts in my town that have this tech in their bathrooms, this is so not cool or current or new, burried for being about 10 years too late.

I look forward to pointing and giggling directly at an opaque cubicle.

so if a current runs thru the glass to have it fog--
than what happens if the power goes out?

This ends the question: Hoobastank

There's tons of these in a lot of different places in Melbourne, Australia. They're quite common in clubs and lounges here.

In Germany they have blue lights in many bathrooms...I hear it's so that you can't inject anything because it's had to see the vein....

Doesn't this technology seem ill suited for a bathroom? Are the aesthetics of a toilet that great that we need to see them at all times when they're not in use?

They've had these in Paradigm in Philadelphia for six or eight years.

Vacuum - Donnie thinks it's vacuum.

yea prada shop has the same glass.. it's the new cool thing.

I have been in one of theese bathrooms at in ice cream shop in florda, it was really cool and when u locked the door the glass turned opaque

I went there back in 2001 and they had them. They are really cool. When you lock the door, the lock acts as the "interrupt" mechanism to trigger the glass frosting. Nicebar, too. They have (or had) a cool chandelier in there made of large quartz crystals and multicolored lights. Limited microbrews, tho.

Reminds me of that Tucker Max story where he is banging a girl in one of those over the toilet seat and would keep unlocking the doors for a few seconds every once in a while to give the bystanders a show.

There are many bathrooms in West Palm Beach, FL that use this technology too, notably the ones in the Sloan's ice cream store chain.

I was there about two years ago, it's a strange feeling that you can see other people (a little bit) but I assumed they couldn't see me and went about going to the bathroom.

Singapore's LRT system uses the same thing too. When the trains pass apartment windows, the train windows fog up to keep people from looking into the flats.

Any Larry Craig jokes?.... anyone?

Maybe some people get a buzz out of the thought that they might just be getting watched taking a *****.

Like the opposite of being a voyeour, whatever that is....someone that likes to be watched. Pervert?

I remember seeing these a couple months ago on the travel channel, they're pretty cool
