Claim:
1. A system for controlling visibility of information in an enclosed work environment, the system comprising: one or more polarized electronic screens located within the enclosed work environment, wherein the one or more polarized electronic screens have a first direction of polarization and wherein information displayed on the one or more polarized electronic screens is visible to a person inside the enclosed work environment; one or more polarized non-electronic surfaces located within the enclosed work environment, wherein the one or more polarized non-electronic surfaces have a direction of polarization substantially aligned with the first direction of polarization of the one or more polarized electronic screens and wherein information displayed on the one or more polarized non-electronic surfaces is visible to the person inside the enclosed work environment; wherein the enclosed work environment is enabled to allow for a person to have a view within the work environment including viewing of the one or more polarized electronic screens and non-electronic surfaces from outside of the enclosed work environment; and a polarizing filter positioned proximate to and extending across a camera lens, wherein the polarizing filter has a second direction of polarization and wherein the second direction of polarization is arranged at an angle to the first direction of polarization; wherein a person outside of the enclosed work environment can see inside of the enclosed work environment through the camera lens, but has a similarly altered view of the information on the one or more polarized electronic displays and one or more polarized non-electronic surfaces.
