Resumen:
A large variability in response is usually found when assessing discomfort glare
by semantic differential scaling. This issue may be addressed by considering the
individual?s tolerance to glare, so we designed an experiment to describe the
differences in glare sensation vote caused by a simulated window while glaresensitive
and glare-insensitive subjects performed a computer task. The luminance
and size of the window had the same statistically significant effect on glare
sensation for both groups. However, when occasionally looking directly at the
glare source, glare-sensitive people experienced more glare than insensitive
persons with a relative risk of being disturbed that varied from 2.70 to 6.75. Our
data suggest that the glare threshold should be redefined to consider glare
tolerance to achieve a glare-free, inclusive visual environment.
