Has anyone used this on double darned windows I don’t want to pay for the file and then you can’t see it because the window is too dark?

Thanks

use any video file or a youtube video as a test first, see what it looks like

I have windows that are tinted very dark and it is fine, but if you have too many lights around, it is going to get lost anyway.

double darned windows
?
At Halloween my projection was onto white curtains , thru screen door, thru glass doors that have window tint on them and you could still see the video reasonably well. Sure, it wasn't super defined but what Phantasm is?
One of my visitors had said she'd never bothered to do video projection because she thought her tinted windows would be too dark. She's now changed her mind. :)

The success of your projection will be dependant on how bright your projector is and how close to "hyper reality" you want.

There's a display near me that does projection onto his large ground floor window. It looks amazing, but (to me and most older children and adults) it's obviously fake. Whereas mine on an upper story balcony and not as bright or defined makes it look a bit more like a real person wandering around in the semi-dark.
