My grandfather, who was an ophthalmologist with a passion for inventing, has shown me schematics for this kind of glass. His idea was that you could put it in places that are sunny but not warm (like a mountain hotel) to allow for indoor sunbathing.

We always make fun of him for this idea as it's one of his strangest. I don't think he ever finished filing the patent.

I don't think I need to explain teasing a family member in terms of the HN worldview.
