What is tactile texture?

Tactile texture, also known as physical or touch texture, refers to the perceived texture of an object when it is physically touched or felt. It is the result of how an object's surface feels to the fingertips or other parts of the body. Tactile texture can range from smooth and sleek to rough and coarse, and it is often used to describe the quality or feel of different materials or surfaces. It is distinct from visual texture, which refers to the illusion of texture created by visual patterns and designs.
