Fritz Kahn a doctor born in Germany produced several illustrations (1920s) that explained the human physiology using operations of machines. It was a wonderful imagination to think of the human anatomy as a various mechanical components. These illustrations have provided great insight in a simplistic way to understand the human physiology. Recently, Henning Lederer a graphics artist and animator attempted to use modern techniques to convert & adapt the work of Kahn into an interactive product.
Given below is an animation created by Lederer and the original poster (Der Mensch als Industriepalast [Man as Industrial Palace]) created by Kahn in 1926.
