To put it simply, your brain has different centers for different functions, e.g. center for storing visual data, another for storing audible data, another for interpretation, and so on... So when you touch an object, nerve impulses from tiny "sensory nerve endings" in your fingers are transmitted to your brain, and cooperation occurs between the different centers in order to recall the image or texture of the object being touched.
