AB  - The online clothing industry has gained popularity among consumers, and the perception of materials and equipment
plays a crucial role in their purchasing decisions. Therefore, accurately representing their appearance in real-time is
essential. This study aimed to subjectively evaluate 20 protective textile materials by translating their tactile
characteristics into virtual prototypes. This was accomplished by scanning physical materials with an x-Tex scanner and
processing them in KeyShot rendering software. Consequently, four scenarios featuring digital materials were created:
S1-image, S2-video animation, S3-3D object, and S4-physical materials. Digital visual subjective evaluations were
conducted for sensory analysis. Participants were asked to assess four visual and seven tactile characteristics using a
seven-point Likert scale. Statistical analysis was employed to evaluate the sensory data collected through subjective
testing. The results indicated that agreement values for the four scenarios ranged from 1.25 to 7.0, as illustrated in
boxplot diagrams representing the subjects' agreement with the perceptual attributes.
Pairwise comparisons of the S4-S1, S4-S2, and S4-S3 scenarios concerning the difference in means revealed that
attributes FR with values of 0.045 (S1), RM with values of 0.063 (S1), CR with values of 0.028 (S1), CR with values of
0.039 (S2), and 0.052 (S3) are closely aligned with the actual values, as the values obtained from these scenarios
closely approximate 0. In contrast, the values of the remaining attributes were close to 1, indicating the difficulty of
translating these attributes into digital format and achieving accurate perception. Assessing textile material properties
through digital images remains a challenging task that requires in-depth subjective analysis.
