There are 5 different types of perceptual spaces, visual, auditory, olfactory, thermal, and haptic (or tactile). Visual can be interpreted as simply however you see something in a space, a sign, mural, etc. It is the most common type of perceptual space because seeing something is the first sense you initiate. Auditory is dealt with hearing and how the vision through hearing something can reflect the way you interpret something. Example, you can hear something, but not particularly visually see it yet. Olfactory is the third type is your sense of smell. Smelling something can make you buy a certain product over anything or even interpret how you stereotype a certain person (on how the smell). Thermal deals with how temperatures can influence daily activities, such as how we dress. Tactile is the last type of perceptual space and is our sense of touch. Each type of space can be represented and matched with certain types of social relationships. This depends on the person’s personality and how they “look” at things and practice semiotics towards them. Each type of space can go with each type of social relationship I think and I think it depends on people’s interpretation of things and how they work their 5 senses together to analyze semiotics in space.
