I had the opportunity to talk and meet lot’s of wonderful people at the Dementia Lab: The Role of Design conference.
I was flattered by people asking for my slides so I’ve included them here.

Paper Street View: Final Marker and Compass
This is the final compass with an engraved face. I am now aging everything so people are not too precious with it.
Paper Street View: Marker and Compass
The new compass and marker for Paper Street View. There is a small extrusion on the bottom which makes the compass turn more fluidly on the table. Thanks to Danny Duquemin-Sheil for machining my parts.

Paper Street View – Version 2 Demo from Tommy Dykes on Vimeo.
Getting close to a testable version of Paper Street View. I am now using a steel board and a small magnetic marker. The retracting bobbins will be attached to the board using magnets, they can also be moved around to accommodate different sized maps and will help hold these flat.
