Episode Summary
In this thought-provoking episode, Gabby and Jorgen delve into the complexities of trust in digital materials. They explore whether digital versions of fabrics can truly replicate the tangible qualities of their physical counterparts and why this matters in design and manufacturing. With insights from researchers Douglas Atkinson and Bruna Petreca, who have studied how sensory elements like sound influence our perception of materials, the conversation covers the nuances of technical accuracy versus perceptual trust.
The hosts also address the validation challenges, from lighting and texture to behaviour in different digital environments. Tune in as they dissect the essential factors in building confidence in digital materials and discuss where the industry stands on making digital twins reliable partners in design.
