OdoriCo: 3D-Printed Pose Sequences on a Rotating Table for Blind Learners

This paper presents tactile design extensions to support blind learners in understanding and exploring Bon Odori pose sequences using 3D-printed pose figures. To support rhythm-aligned sequence exploration, we introduce Bon Odori-specific tactile cues, including direction-encoding bases, an origin marker, and a landmarked rotating table with magnetic detachability. We refined these elements through three participatory design sessions with a blind designer-researcher (P0). We then report an exploratory user study with ten blind participants that examines how these supports contributed to displacement interpretation, re-orientation, and multimodal sequence understanding in a rhythm-based setting, and derive design implications for future tactile dance-learning systems.
