About Theodore Gray
In a September 2011 interview, Theodore Gray demonstrated his iPad app for the periodic table, noting that it was available in ten versions covering English, French, German, and Japanese, each with a regular and a demo edition. He explained that the app features rotating object images, a stereo 3D mode, and links to Wolfram Alpha for detailed information and market prices. Gray also debuted a Japanese version of Tom Lehrer's "Elements" song, performed by his cousin Lena Lickstein, and described how the audio was assembled from multiple takes with some audio processing to improve enunciation.
