December 7, 2011
Touch Press, the heralded "book app" publisher, has updated their newest iPad offering, X is for X-Ray. Released last month, Apple's current iPad App of the Week has been touted across the internet as a scientific, informative take on the classical children's rubric.
Based on the work of the British Institute of Radiology's Artist in Residence Hugh Turvey, the app features the written stylings of award-winning author Paul Rosenthal and voiceover work by Dr. who’s Kerry Shale.
While only 26 objects are on display (one for each letter of the alphabet), there's a wealth of interactivity afforded each one. The app description explains:
For many of the objects, swipe horizontally and they rotate at your fingertip. A double-tap offers an amazing stereoscopic option, really bringing the objects to life. For others, pinch to zoom and reveal incredible detail. With all objects, swipe vertically to discover what's really inside!X is for X-Ray is available on the App Store for $7.99, but make sure you've got a few minutes to spare--The book's a hefty 410 MB download!
