Anab also made the suggestion of creating a subtle experience when bringing travel into the home. I liked this idea. . .the thought that when sitting at my desk at home I could catch small glimpses of the travel experience. . . a flicker of a station clock. . .a peek out of a train window. . .a hint of travel intertwined with daily life.
This led me on to think about how I could transform my idea into a more subtle experience. I considered the idea that the footage might always be there in front of us but somehow hidden until we chose to reveal it. One way of achieving this was by the use of polarising film, the same film used to make the sunglasses that on the outer surface show a clear reflection.
Polariser works by playing with the direction of the light beams through a Liquid Crystal Display. If you turn a piece of polariser film it changes from a clear view of the screen to blacking out the screen completely.

I also saw this on YouTube where the maker is trying to fake the experience of using a flexible LCD screen. He manages to show how polariser can be used to make an image reveal itself to us.
