Landmark models for visually impaired people
Launched on: 12.02.2016

The Duke or Vorontsov Monument, Opera House, Potemkin Stairs - these are just a small fraction of Odessa's "calling cards" by which the city is recognized and loved.

But there are people who have lived their whole lives in Odessa, but have only heard about them. We want to help people with visual impairments get to know Odessa better, or even discover it for themselves through 3D models of city landmarks.

We will transfer such models to museums or specialized institutions - schools where children with visual impairments study.

People with visual impairments cannot learn what the city they live in looks like.

It is planned to create scaled volumetric models of Odessa landmarks on a 3D printer.
