Book claims to give sex life a new dimension

The makers claim its technology transforms the historic manual’s illustrations into holographic 3D images. The app is free, although the book it is used with costs £8.99 on Amazon, and comes with a new version of the text based on ancient Indian Hindu philosophies, believed to have been written around 2,000 years ago.

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”.

Hazel Cushion, managing director of publisher Xcite Books, said: “For more than two thousand years couples have turned to the Kama Sutra for advice and guidance on how to have a fulfilling love life.”
