Example Haptic Fingerprint

The following examples illustrate the differences of different materials.

Material A

This material is an artificial leather. to the eye already a structure is recognizable, which allows conclusions about the haptic experience. However, only with the measurement results a reproducible and objective image is possible.
In practice, this can mean, for example, that in the production of artificial leather seats for passenger cars a very specific effect can be achieved, if the parameters are known. So the slippery factorcan be decisive for the purchase decision, the seats should be designed for a pleasant sitting feeling not too “slippery”, but also not too “sticky”.

Material B

It is already visible that this artificial leather has a different structure. The measurement results are correspondingly different compared to material A. For our customers, exactly this measurement reliability is so important and useful, because a pure eye diagnosis can be useful in the practical implementation never cover the descriptors of our measurements – we would like to remind at this point once again that every person is different perceives.

Material C

This much smoother imitation leather “tells” a different story again. The eye already perceives a relatively smooth surface, and the Measurement results confirm this: the macro roughness is in a very low measuring range.

Material D

This material is completely different from those examined before. It is a very smooth surface, which is used for food packaging. The measurements show which macro- and micro-roughness must be given to achieve such a haptic experience. Thus our customer can choose the chemical ingredients as long as the measured values correspond to our measurement.
