Consideration of amount of gather that is easy to recognize fabric texture －Investigation of differences for sales style and subject group－

Abstract

In online shopping, it is regarded as a problem that the texture of the real fabric is hard to be transmitted. Therefore, quantitative change of gather content was examined and optimum gather amount was examined based on the previous study that cloth texture is easy to be transmitted by attaching drape to fabric. We conducted three kinds of experiments while considering sales form and subject group. (Experiment is to evaluate fabrics only with visual information, and visual and tactile evaluation of clothing / fabric)We also classified subjects into clothing subjects and engineering subjects based on the presence or absence of knowledge about clothing and examined how the differences in subject groups affect the texture evaluation of the fabric.
