T 'Z is a method that uses the characteristics of observation through touch. This method requires one to set the T’Z paper vertical to the desk and touch the paper with both hands; one side with the right hand, and the other side with the left. By touching the figure drawn on both sides of the T’Z at the same time, it allows one to capture a three-dimensional image of the figure. By touching these figures consecutively, especially with objects that are asymmetrically three-dimensional which are hard to actually touch and understand the movements (i.e., hand and foot movement of a person when walking, the movement of 4 legs of a dog and its tail when walking), are made understandable. The purpose of this presentation is to introduce what objects are appropriate for the T’Z method, the method of observing through touch, and introduce some of the different applications of the T’Z method.
