Handling Evaluated by Visual Information for Web-consumers
Details
As the internet comes into wider use, it is expected that the opportunities of buying fabrics at on-line shops will increase. Can Web-consumers catch and evaluate the texture and the handling of the fabrics correctly? The aim of this study is to gain fundamental data for evaluation of the handling of fabrics by visual sensation. A questionnaire and sensory inspections were performed. As a result, we've found that it was difficult to evaluate the handling by visual sensation from fabrics' pictures on a computer. Though it was difficult, if the images of fabrics have been already established, the handling can be caught by visual information.
