15. How the Body Shapes the Mind Tangible Knowledge ‘Haptic Visuality : Touching with the Eyes’ Gesture is not only physicallyto the focus of communication (someone or something) in the form of hand movements, but also interactively iterate the movements as part of the communication and use them to support our thinking. In the physical environment the way things look corresponds with what we expect to feel when we touch them. -ShaunGallagher
