After reviewing the draft rules, some solar experts question whether the city should require non-glare surfaces.
And if the sun came out it was high-glare, every surface a beautiful but painful shimmer of reflected light.
The still life, on an adjacent screen, is a nearly immobile shot of a solitary bounce board, whose steady, glaring white surface assumes an emblematic, unearthly aura, like a pure shining shield or banner.
For boating, fishing and driving, polarized lenses are excellent, because they absorb reflected glare from horizontal surfaces.
The diffusion of sound created by reflections from those objects, acousticians agree, prevents a nasty acoustic "hardness" or "glare" that smooth surfaces can generate.
Examples of difficulties are inserting the hearing aid or ear mold in the ear, seeing the controls, or replacing batteries (glare from reflective surfaces may interfere with seeing the battery polarity) [ 32].
Somaya's work on these campuses has been marked by minimizing glass surfaces to reduce glare, and using pergolas, screens, landscaping and other features to make the buildings more energy efficient.
She realized that just as these films reduced glare on the surface of water, they could reduce the glare reflected off of glass.
JD: Yes, I suppose it could be very confusing to a computer to see a glare on the surface of anything from an automobile to a glossy magazine.
A CCD camera (12 bit, Flea, Point Grey Research, Richmond, BC, Canada) views the skin through a second cross-polarized linear polarizer, thereby avoiding surface glare and collecting diffusely backscattered light.
Polarizing filters enhance colour vividness by reducing glare from the reflecting surfaces of such substances as glass and water.
