    This paper examined whether controlling the initial surface temperature of a dry cloth can produce a particular moisture sensation, with the goal of developing a virtual evaluation system for cloth. We raised or lowered the initial surface temperature of a dry, polyester-smooth-knit sample cloth so that variations in the skin temperature of the participant's palm after contact were similar to what occurred when they touched a moist sample. The participants evaluated how they perceived the sensation of moisture when they touched the samples. The results showed that dry samples produced moisture sensations when the samples were colder than skin temperature. Therefore, we concluded that it is possible to simulate moisture sensation only by controlling the initial temperature of the dry cloth.
