A Monmouth man who conquered TV's Dragon's Den will be speaking at a Rotary open evening next month.

Tim Williams, secured investment from two Dragons alongside business partner Tom Hogan last year for their 'Yr Wall' invention.

Tim has been confirmed as Monmouth Rotary Club's guest speaker at an open evening on 19th October.

Yr Wall is an interactive and inventive drawing tool for creating digital graffiti on a large screen using a modified spray paint can.

Instead of paint, the can 'sprays' infrared light which is tracked by a computer vision system as it moves across the screen.

The digital paint appears wherever the can is sprayed, just like graffiti on a real wall.

After an impressive demonstration of the technology, the pair were successful in securing £50,000 – the entire amount they sought from the Den – for 40 per cent of the business.
