Glass walls and conference rooms have become a popular part of modern office design. They bring in natural light, create an open feel, and allow employees to collaborate without making spaces feel closed off.
But there is one potential problem with all that transparency: what happens when a screen inside the room contains information that should stay private?
That is where Casper™ Cloaking Film comes in.
What Is Casper™ Cloaking Film?
Casper™ Cloaking Film is an architectural film designed for glass walls, doors, and partitions where digital privacy is important.
Unlike traditional privacy film, which makes the entire pane of glass frosted or opaque, Casper™ selectively targets the light coming from compatible digital displays.
From inside the room, employees can see the screen normally.
From outside the room, the screen appears black or blank, while the rest of the room remains visible.
This makes it possible to maintain an open, modern workspace without putting sensitive information on display.

How Does Casper™ Work?
The technology behind Casper™ is based on selectively filtering the light produced by compatible LED and LCD displays.
Digital screens emit light in specific patterns. Casper™ is designed to filter those particular light oscillations so that the information displayed on the screen is no longer visible through the treated glass.
Think of it as a targeted privacy layer for your digital displays rather than a traditional privacy film that blocks the entire view.
Where Can Casper™ Be Used?
Casper™ is especially useful anywhere glass and digital privacy need to coexist.
Conference Rooms
Conference rooms are one of the most common applications. Teams can discuss financial information, business plans, presentations, client information, or other sensitive material without having the contents of the screen visible to people walking past the room.
Healthcare Administration Settings
Doctors’ offices, medical facilities, and other healthcare environments often use glass partitions to create open, welcoming spaces. Casper™ can help prevent information displayed on compatible screens from being viewed by people outside the room.
Meeting and Huddle Rooms
Smaller collaboration spaces often rely on glass walls while displaying information on large monitors. Casper™ allows these spaces to remain visually connected to the surrounding workplace while adding another layer of digital privacy.
Corporate Offices
Any office where confidential information is displayed on screens can potentially benefit from cloaking technology. This can include executive offices, financial services, legal offices, educational environments, and other professional settings.
Designtex specifically recommends Casper™ for conference rooms, meeting rooms, and team studios, with compatibility depending on the display being used.
Why Choose Casper™ Instead of Traditional Privacy Film?
Traditional frosted or opaque privacy film can provide excellent visual privacy, but it also blocks the view through the glass.
That may not be what you want.
With Casper™, the goal is different. You can maintain the open appearance of a glass conference room while specifically addressing the privacy concern created by digital displays.
Employees can continue to see through the glass. Natural light can continue to enter the space. Visitors can still see that the room is occupied.
The difference is that the information displayed on the compatible screen is no longer readable from outside.
For modern offices that value both transparency and privacy, that distinction can be significant.
Why Professional Installation Matters
Casper™ is not simply a film that can be applied to glass in any direction.
Proper installation begins before the film ever touches the glass.
The orientation of the film can affect whether the display is successfully cloaked. Casper’s™ installation guidance recommends validating the specific monitor and determining the appropriate installation orientation before the project begins.
Professional installation also helps ensure the film is properly measured, positioned, applied, and finished. With specialty technology like Casper™, installation is about more than creating a clean appearance. It is about making sure the film and display are properly matched and installed for the intended application.
At U.S. Film Crew, our professional installers can help evaluate your space, determine whether Casper™ is a good fit, and complete the installation with the precision specialty film requires.
Important: Not Every Screen Is Compatible
Casper™ is an impressive technology, but it is important to understand that it does not work with every type of display.
Casper™ is engineered primarily for compatible LED displays, particularly larger displays. Manufacturer guidance states that displays smaller than 40 inches may or may not cloak, and some touchscreen devices, phones, and other display types are not compatible. Certain technologies, including some OLED, plasma, projection, and video wall displays, may also fall outside Casper’s™ compatibility range.
The viewing angle can also affect the appearance of the cloaking effect.
For that reason, the display should be tested for compatibility before the film is ordered and installed. This is an important part of the process and helps ensure the finished installation performs as intended.
