tactility
Sense of touch
Tactility is the quality of being perceptible by touch, or the capacity to perceive through touch.
The word appears in discussions of art, design, and sensory experience: The sculpture's tactility invites viewers to run their hands over its surface.
Tactility can also describe a general emphasis on physical texture or tangible qualities: Digital interfaces increasingly try to simulate tactility through haptic feedback.
