Abstract

As well as utilitarian functions of commercial products, their visual quality has become significant in differentiating strategy. This study dealt with feel of translucency for scattering material, such as cultured marble and earthenware. A visual assessment based on a pairwise comparison technique is carried out to investigate the effect of an optical property and thickness of a planar scattering medium on its translucent feel, and the Thurstone scale is adopted to quantify the translucent feel. The results reveal that the feel strength of translucency for a planar scattering medium is proportional to the optical thickness of the medium when the thick is less than 20, and that the planar media with the optical thickness more than 20 does not affect the translucent feel.
