The Human Body App for iPad from DK

Award-winning publisher DK is proud to announce its 'The Human Body' App for iPad is now available on the App Store.

Adapted from The Human Body Book, which has sold over one million copies, the app is groundbreaking in the breadth and depth of material it contains, bringing DK's design and editorial expertise to a new medium. The Human Body App provides a breathtaking portrait of the human body as never seen before and is ideal both for family reference and students of human anatomy.

Written in conjunction with doctors and practitioners, The Human Body covers 12 systems of the body, is illustrated with over 200 specially commissioned images, and contains 100 story pages, each with accompanying text, annotations, and illustrations.

"This is the most ambitious digital project undertaken by DK," said Justin Moodie, digital publishing director for DK. "It genuinely sets a new standard for illustrated reference products."

Features include:

Zoom in to magnify artwork for detailed views of the wonders of the human body;

Annotations that can be turned on and off as a whole or individually, allowing someone to study and then test their knowledge;

Authoritative text and comprehensive labelling of anatomical elements;

Four CGI movies of the key processes of the human body, lavishly animating the text;

3D-rendered spinning human body with removable layers reveals the body systems in incredible detail;

Haptic feedback, allowing the user to actually feel the heart beat, the lungs breathe and the nerve impulses race as they hold their iPad.

The Human Body App is available for £9.99/$13.99 from the App Store on iPad or at itunes.apple.com
