| Research Abstract |
As well as utilitarian functions of commercial products, their visual quality and feeling have become significant in differentiating strategy. This study dealt with the visual feeling of transparency on scattering material, such as cultured marble and earthenware. We quantitatively evaluated the effects of an optical property and thickness of planar scattering media on its visual feeling by the Thurstone scale based on a pairwise comparison technique. The results revealed that there exists optical thickness where the visual feeling of transparency is maximized.
