Light is controlled by optics through absorption, reflection, diffusion, diffraction, refraction, polarization, and interference. These are often used in combinations. When light reflects “specularly”, as occurs with polished objects, the angle of the incoming incident light is equal to the reflected […]

Light comes in 3 general forms; point sources, linear sources and area sources:
In order for an observer to gain visual information, four important details should be considered. The object’s characteristics, as discussed in Form & Surface. For example, whether it is two-dimens ional or three-dimensional, where depth is largely influential. The simplest way to understand an object’s […]
Visual distraction occurs in several forms, such as unwanted reflections, glare, loud patterns, or even the hundreds of LED signs painting the buildings of Shibuya, Tokyo. We call this visual noise, as the brain is usually unable to filter them out. Architecturally, […]
To begin to understand form or space and what they require, as mention in “visual perception” we need to identify their basic characteristics. For example, whether it is two-dimensional or three-dimensional, where depth is largely influential, the simplest way to do so […]
Visual performance is highly dependent on contrast, meaning that an observer should easily be able to separate an object from its surroundings. For this to happen the brain uses brightness perception, which is highly dependent on previous experiences and the brain’s expectation as […]
As humans, our ability to visually perceive our surrounding environment is highly dependent on light. Our eyes are constantly at work collecting surrounding visual data. When passed to the mind in a process called active information seeking, around 90% of the collected […]
All light sources produce 3 types of radiation infrared(IR) and ultraviolet(UV) and visible radiation, whether natural or artificial. As its name gives away, visible radiation is the light we see, it actually consists of multiple colours all having different wavelengths, […]
