3D Maps

A company called Mount Maps have come up with fold out paper maps. They were designed initially to help people in ski resorts properly visualise their position, and the best way to navigate their way down the mountains.

The company describes the design thus:

Our design engineering team first explores how a map can work in 3-dimensions. In effect, we apply two-thousand year-old origami techniques to modern materials. There's a lot of mathematics and science involved and this is at the heart of our Pat. Pending technology.
