    It’s an interesting line of research, but unless they can completely remove all visual traces of grain, etc, so that it’s very clear, it’s not going to be a replacement for glass in either screens or windows. And I’m skeptical that’s possible.

        It would also be useful for blinds. My doggie is a bit of a little jerk and wrecked mine trying to look outside while they were closed. Wood blinds would likely be a lot more resilient

      Honestly, I’d take a woody window to replace the clear glass overlooking the scenic parking lot outside literally any of the apartments I’ve ever lived in.

        If it’s anything like NileRed’s “transparent wood” it won’t work for shit as a window, except as like a privacy window that just lets light through.
