Abstract
In this study we show that humans form very similar perceptual spaces when they explore parametrically-defined shell-shaped objects visually or haptically. A physical object
space was generated by varying three shape parameters.
Sighted participants explored pictures of these objects while blindfolded participants haptically explored 3D printouts of the objects. Similarity ratings were performed and analyzed
using multidimensional scaling (MDS) techniques. Visual
and haptic similarity ratings highly correlate and resulted in
very similar visual and haptic MDS maps providing
evidence for one shared perceptual space underlying both
modalities. To investigate to which degree these results are
transferrable to natural objects, we performed the same
visual and haptic similarity ratings and multidimensional
scaling analyses using a set of natural sea shells.
