Abstract
Based on "intermodality", this paper aims to develop a new method for measuring the tactile Kansei information on the sense of touch by using a haptic method. Subject was asked to touch a coarse object without being able to see this object. After touching this object, subject then presented their physical stimulation by adjusting the noise image on monitor of PC. For instance, visual image data can be used to define and classify the Kansei of touch. Further, the obtained Kansei of touch can be organized in a way to reflect the visual image of tactile Kansei. Thus, this study helps to clarify the issue that sense of tactile and visual acuity might reflect synesthesia.
