Abstract :
Some textures appeal to human touch, the reasons for which have not been investigated. We investigate the relationship between the physical and sensory factors of 24 clay textures. Experimental results reveal that 70%-80% of the textures´ appeal to human touch can be explained on the basis of these factors.
