Superman: iPad app give you X-Ray style vision.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have X-ray vision? Well a new iPad app offers positive answer ‘yes ’to this question.
From complex engines and sports bikes to the humble desk lamp and kitchen toaster, the 'X is for X-Ray' app has 26 objects that only Superman's X-ray vision could expect to reveal.
Using new X-ray technologies Hugh Turvey, Artist in Residence at the Royal Institute for Radiology, mapped objects in three dimensions in both X-ray and solid form.
The 40-year-old from London said: ‘X is for X-Ray' is an interactive educational e-book that offers a magical view into 26 everyday objects, one for each letter of the alphabet.
‘Swipe your finger left and right and the objects rotate. A swipe up and down reveals their amazing x-ray 3D interiors.
‘Additional pages allow children and parents to explore the objects and ideas more deeply.’
Hugh's amazing app allows the user to explore these objects while they are actually moving.
‘It is one of the first photographic imaging techniques ever used.
Hugh has produced incredible imagery - and the iPad offered him the opportunity to share this passion with others.
He said: ‘The iPad offered immense functionality, interactivity with the images and the potential to change the face of publishing.
‘I think our educational ebook will change people's understanding of the world they live in by encouraging them to see further with a deeper understanding of objects.
‘But it will also change people's expectations of what an educational book can be.’
