Did we ever figure out the difference of when we use three-dimensional form vs. tactile three-dimensional form?
I would say that most three-dimensional forms can be touched, so there is a tactile component to them, as three-dimensional forms. Of course, for some things, it is clearly not the intention for the 3D object to be touched. A Brain in Jar of formaldehyde comes to mind. (Go figure!) ;-) I mean, it would be possible to touch the brain, but probably not a good idea. What about a plastic model of a brain that comes apart in various pieces so it can be displayed, showing the anatomy of the brain -- or the brain can be taken apart, so you can see how the pieces fit together. Would you consider this to be "tactile"? Curious!
