Hacker Samy Kamkar is debuting his own open source version of a laser microphone—a spy tool that can invisibly pick up the sounds inside your home through a window, and even the text you’re typing.
demonstrating that he can point a laser that’s invisible to the human eye at a faraway laptop, through a window, and detect the computer’s vibrations to reconstruct virtually every character typed on it
actually thats UV. transition lenses won’t change with a glass window thats not open. infrared is basically heat and does indeed pass through. Cars in the sun would not get hot so fast if they did not let in infrared.
if this yahoo from the internet I found in a search is right then its both:
“Glass will bock low frequency IR (red hot), but allow the passage of high frequency (white hot) IR. Hence, the heat of the sun will easily pass into a greenhouse, but once this energy is converted into low frequency heat by the objects within that absorb it, then the resulting low frequency heat is trapped. Hence, the Greenhouse Effect.”
Infrared is not visible
To humans
Infrared doesn’t pass through windows.

Some UV is blocked by glass. Either UVA or UVB. It doesn’t block both.
I have an IR camera and windows look like mirrors. Might depend on the type of glass idk.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for doing the homework!
It is visible to security cameras
