LEIPZIG, Germany — November 7, 2023 — How do we define, determine, and digitize the tactile sense in the textile industry? How do textile experts capture the subjective aspects of the human touch perception and transform these into useful data that can be reproduced at scale? Due to its subjective nature, reliably measuring the human sense of touch has long been a challenge.
In a premiere two-day webinar, eight international textile experts will come together in an AATCC digital forum to explore ways to change our modus operandi regarding the most indefinable sense, the sense of touch. The event delves into the nuances of how humans experience the feel of fabrics, how we can measure this subjective experience, and how we can leverage the measured data to improve and unify product quality in a digital setting.
