“Pose – sex education set for the blind people” is addresses the problem of lack of access to knowledge about sexuality and the failure to adapt products on the market to blind people. “Pose” consists: descriptions parts prepared with sex educator: Dagna Kocur, audiomovies about basic of sex education and spatial figures that are to show what the 5 basic positions look like. The main goal of the project was to make knowledge available to the blind, hence the decision was made to record descriptions that everyone can listen to on YouTube. The second goal was to provide a description of the appearance of the item. For this purpose, it was decided to use tactile reading (5 sex positions). The figures are made of 3D printing filament, so that every educator can organize workshops with their help. The models were redesigned for tactile reading, the indentations and protrusions had to be larger, some parts, e.g. feet or hands – simplified so that a blind person could easy read the position.
