Abstract
Although humans can richly perceive variations of tactile textures, the relationships among tactile sensation categories are not clearly generalized. Here we propose a novel method for classifying sensations for tactile textures using onomatopoeic words (sound symbolic words) in Japanese. The method generates a distribution diagram of onomatopoeic words based on subjective impressions of the words, and enables users to arrange and compare the tactile textures on the diagram in two-dimensionally visualized form. We describe two experiments performed to generate the distribution diagram and examine the validity of the diagram.
