You can touch this : Eleven years and 258218 images of objects

• Touch has become a central input modality for a wide variety of interactive devices, most of our mobile devices are operated using touch. In addition to interacting with digital artifacts, people touch and interact with many other objects in their daily lives. We provide a unique photo dataset containing all touched objects over the last 11 years. All photos were contributed by Alberto Frigo, who was involved early on in the "Quantified Self" movement. He takes photos of every object he touches with his dominant hand. We analyzed the 258,218 images with respect to the types objects, their distribution, and related activities.
