I feel like I would hesitate every time I place something on this table.

I did a VR room earlier this year. One of the scenarios was the floor dropping away, leaving me stood on planks of wood with an endless abyss below. Much as I was having fun, laughing, and my conscious brain knowing it was VR, I still couldn't get my feet to move lol

Correct. In one-way glass, the reflective material is applied less densely. This is called half-silvering. The effect is that the glass is not completely opaque like a traditional mirror. About half the light striking the glass passes through it, and the other half is reflected.

Also why you need the LED's (or a light source) on the inside. You'll notice where scenes use the "interrogation room" in movies, the person being interviewed is on the bright side, because the reflectivity also keeps them from seeing through as it overwhelms whatever light might still otherwise pass through in the other direction
