Tezawari — A Collection of Materials and Textures

Tezawari — A Small Sample Room of Materials Explored with Your Fingertips

Smooth, fluffy, jiggly, rough.
A web app that responds with movement, light, and subtle sounds when you trace or press on materials.

No scores. No clear objectives.
Touch as much as you like, look around, and step away.
I created this to help you enjoy a purposeless moment like that.

12 "Tezawari" (Tactile Sensations)

• Fine sand × smooth
• Coarse minerals × grainy
• Silk × slippery
• Cotton × fluffy
• Jelly × jiggly
• Clear jelly × jiggly
• Dried leaves × crinkly
• Velvet × soft stroking
• Bubbles × popping
• Moss × moist and fluffy
• Shoji paper × soft thud \NEW\
• Acorns × rolling \NEW\

On a smartphone, turn on sound and touch with low volume.
On a computer, you can also enjoy it with a mouse.

Rather than perfectly recreating real materials,
I'm aiming for an experience where you feel "even though it's on a screen, there seems to be something there."

Please Share Your Thoughts

This is still a prototype where I'm gradually adjusting the tactile sensations.

"I like this one," "I wish it moved like this," or
"Next I'd like to touch a material like this"—
I'd be happy to hear what you feel after trying it out.
