It is possible to make a material where you can turn on a tint rapidly, this is being used in new airplanes for pax windows to replace the window shades.

While LCDs have pretty quick respone times, the speed of light is hard to beat...

It only takes a fraction of a second for a high-power laser to dazzle, even damage, the retina.

I like the predator idea...
