The Kama Sutra has been brought into the 21st century with an app that enables couples to study its poses in 3D.
The technology transforms the ancient Hindu manual’s illustrations into holograms which pop up in front of a smartphone or tablet to give users a complete view of the guide’s sexual diagrams.
The free app comes with a new version of the text, which was originally written in Sanskrit 2,000 years ago.
Each image can be seen from all angles meaning users are offered an un-obstructed, complete view.
The Kama Xcitra promises to help couples master positions set out in the original book and ensure they are brought 'closer to the action than ever before'.
The app works in conjunction with 69 poses and allows users to customise the appearance of models, changing hair and skin colour as well as adding music as a soundtrack.
A spokesman for the publishers of the Kama Xcitra, which is available on Amazon, said people had turned to the Kama Sutra for guidance on having a fulfilling love life for centuries. But she added: ‘Some of the more challenging positions like the Prone Tiger, the Catherine Wheel or the Peg have left readers a little baffled. Until now.’
The Kama Sutra is widely considered to be the primary Sanskrit work on human sexuality.
It was first translated into English in 1883 under the guidance of Victorian explorer Richard Burton.
