Preliminary Study on Haptics of Textile Surfaces via Digital Visual Cues

Humans perceive through various sensory impressions, including the five senses. Not only the number of different stimuli in everyday life increase, but also the degree of assessment of urgent and irrelevant information. But online it is not possible for the customer to physically perceive and assess the haptics of a product. This paper focus on the questions if it is possible for humans to perceive and identify surface properties without using their sense of touch and if humans can judge and classify the haptics of a textile materials via digital channels through a purely visual perception?CC BY-NC-NDThis is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives licence), which permits non-commercial re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is unaltered and is properly cited.
