Visual comfort probability

Visual comfort probability (VCP), also known as Guth Visual Comfort Probability, is a metric used to rate lighting scenes. It is defined as the percentage of people that will find a certain scene (viewpoint and direction) comfortable with regard to visual glare. [1] [2] It was defined by Sylvester K. Guth in 1963.
