This paper is concerned with the empirical development of a scale to measure tactile interaction based on users’ experience with fabric seats. Volunteers slid their fingertips over samples of fabric; giving their ratings against kansei statements. Physical interaction was established by the friction coefficient of the contact measured through two different devices. Firstly; a commercially available metallic probe was used. The mechanism is designed to collect data within the frequency range that can be perceived by humans. Secondly; a tactile tribometer using a multiple layer model to mimic human characteristics was used. Scales of measurement were established through the Rasch model. As a result; a linear metric was obtained for samples of fabric; which allowed the alignment of the responses with the physical properties associated with the materials’ roughness and coefficient of friction.
