The Touch of Velvet – Sensory Interactive Exhibit
This is a sensory exhibit for all visitors.
Place your hands on a feather model to feel a velvet-like texture.
You’ll learn how skin feels touch and how the brain processes this sensory information.
As a professional maker of interactive and hands-on science exhibits, we designed this for children’s museums and science centers.
Product Introduction
“The Touch of Velvet” is an interactive neuroscience exhibit.
It focuses on how we feel touch with our skin.
The exhibit has several metal meshes (each with different thicknesses) and information panels.
These simple metal meshes become a magical way to learn about skin’s secrets.
Place your hands on both sides of the metal mesh.
Slide them back and forth, using different pressure and speed.
You’ll have an amazing experience: the hard metal mesh feels soft, smooth, and like velvet!
This isn’t magic—it’s how the nerve cells in your skin react to pressure and vibration.
Metal meshes with different thicknesses and weaves feel different.
You can try them again and again to compare the differences.
The information panels will guide you to learn the science behind it all.
This exhibit is perfect for:
- Science museums
- Human body mystery exhibitions
- Neuroscience outreach activities
- Sensory experience shows
It lets you “read” the amazing language of your skin with your own hands.
