Weird/fun prompt—how much marginal problem-solving capacity could you create by making good domestic whiteboards way more viable?
Domestic whiteboards are usually either too small or too obtrusive. There's rarely enough unbroken wall space; free-standing boards eat huge sqftage.

A ceiling-mounted retractable solution is appealing, but it seems hard to get the rigidity you'd need.
Switchable glass seems promising. It's available as an aftermarket film @ ~$50/sqft. But it'd feel obtrusive to leave writing up for days, though, which is no good.
…AR? :/

Whiteboards—particularly whiteboards persistent and big enough to accumulate writing for many days—create a change in consciousness! I straight-up think different thoughts when one's present. Doubly true in a collaborative situation.

I installed a 16x6 whiteboard in the office that I love. Magnatag is a great product. Hanging one of their VisuGlass boards at home. magnatag.com/plain-glass-wh

I’m envious that you have enough free contiguous wall space to make that happen at home!

The big one is in an office suite. The one I’ve got coming for the house is 4x4.
I think if I was designing a house I’d figure out how to include a large wall sized board though!
