Abstract
Perception is the process of attaining awareness or understanding of sensory information. Together with our motor skills it is nothing less than our gate to the reality outside our psyche. As the scope of this monograph is the simulation of a certain facet of reality, namely the tactile properties of textiles, a good insight into human perception is a necessary prerequisite. The intention of this chapter is to cover the aspects of human perception that are important for this task.
