Using wall materials, we compared the impressions of objects when viewed in reality and when reproduced and viewed through visual media: a cathode ray tube (CRT) display and a video projector. The results showed that the materials were evaluated from three different perspectives: evaluation (preference), potency (solidity) and activity (diversity) and that the similarity of the walls was determined according to the two‐dimensional characteristics of visual and tactile textures. Concerning the viewing condition it was found that: (i) a video projector can transmit information about color and pattern, but it cannot transmit enough texture, (ii) a CRT can transmit information about texture such as smoothness, as well as color and pattern, but it gives a tense impression, probably due to the image’s brightness and clarity, and (iii) seeing the objects in reality is the best way to evaluate their visual and factile textures. Although these findings showed the differences among the visual media used, the impression and evaluation of them were similar as a whole. We discussed this similarity of the judgement from the point of view of an observer’s ability to adjust to or to maintain a preset attitude to reproductions.
