Palace of Loci (A combination of Memory Palace and the Method of Loci) is / will be an application used to make your own memory palaces using just a few images of a path you know by heart. Put a few pictures of your path in order, mark the steps you think about along the way as waypoints, reframe the waypoints as part of an organized story involving sections of the thing you want to memorize, and then practice walking through your customized palace in theater mode to visually move through your story in a 3d perspective. Your familiarity with the path will reinforce your recollection to the point you can recite things years later just by taking a jog through memory lane. Poems, passwords, names, dates, pretty much anything memorable can be memorized with a palace and some practice, and the app lets you edit existing projects to reuse them or save / load them for later.

• Personalized Palace Pictures: Use your own pictures of a path you know by heart, moving them to the in-app memory folder to be used as the walls and grounds of your palace.
• Ordered Thoughts: Place waypoints along the path in the order you think about 'stepping' through the area; not just where you walk, but what events / actions / etc take your attention.
• Memorable Memorabilia: Anything can be memorized: grocery lists, names, passwords, poems, pi, just divide them up into segments and they can become steps in your palace.
• Segmented Story: Assign your waypoints to be segments of the thing you want memorized, played out to be part of a story that happens along your path as you walk through it.
• 3D Glasses: Once your palace is complete, go into theater mode for a visual walk through your virtual palace and step through your waypoints to test your memory.
• Palace Rennovations: Editing tools let you rename and reposition waypoints for different stories, and you can save your palace to work on later or share with others.
• Tooltips and Tutorials: There are options to explain what all the fancy buttons and knobs do, as well as full tutorials on how to make and understand memory palaces.

Status: In progress. Most of the core functionality is in and working, though the UI and 'flow' of use need some work. We're considering crowdfunding options to make it a full distinguished product, but need to do some crowdtesting first to make sure what we have is the right direction for the right idea.
