Greek: ἁπτός haptόs “palpable”, ἁπτικός haptikόs “suitable for touching”
“Touching is one of our basic needs. If we could not use our sense to touch we would suffer mental deprivation.”
3d objects and figures from clay, suitable for touching and viewing as the human being visually experiences 3d objects in space. There is a difference to lens-based images created by cameras of these objects. Please compare.
