Exploring interactions between shading and view using visual difference prediction by Stephen Wasilewski, Marilyne Andersen

“…This paper is an exploration of how to approach the characterisation of view clarity through different facades as a function of both the facade and the view itself. While the findings are preliminary, there is already an indication that the type of view content matters to how well people will see through different systems, an important consideration when planning mock-ups and selecting shade fabrics, blinds or electrochromic glazing.…”
