The term is formed from kosketus (touch) and kokemus (experience), with the suffix -iin indicating an experiential
In research, kosketuskokemuksiin is explored through psychology and neuroscience, including psychophysical experiments that measure thresholds for
Technological applications focus on haptics, where devices deliver tactile feedback to reproduce kosketuskokemuksiin in virtual reality,
Kosketuskokemuksiin also appears in design, therapy, and art, where tactile experiences are used to enhance usability,
