  • The first-ever book to explore the value of tactile sense studies for ergonomic engineering
  • Introduces “computational aesthetic analysis for the arts,” which contributes to making human beings feel comfortable
  • Includes novel haptic media, in which the tactile sensations produced by visual or auditory media are synthesized by extracting haptic sound vibrations

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology (BRIEFSAPPLSCIENCES)

About this book

The essence of natural computing is aesthetics; for example, in cooking, one of the most common forms of natural computation, the decision to add salt, and how much, is based on the aesthetics of taste. Because touch perception is instinctively related to a sense of beauty, the aesthetics of tactile sense are considered as algorithms by using the Tactile Score, which encodes tactile sensation. This book will appeal not only to researchers of natural computing or aesthetics, but also those working in ergonomic design, haptic-Kansei engineering, philosophy, design and art.
