The thought occurred to me to use the art of origami as a modelling technique for visualization. Sounds kind of off the wall, but I certainly know of one serious conceptual use: %A Haw-minn Lu %T Computational Origami: A Geometric Approach to Regular Multiprocessing %R MS Thesis %I MIT %C Cambridge, MA %D May 1988 %X Alan Huang advisor, patent holder. So I checked our graf-bib files and found: %A T. Agui %A M. Takeda %A M. Nakajima %T Animating planar folds by computer %J Comput. Vision, Graphics and Image Process. (USA) %V 24 %D Nov. 1983 %P 244-254 I think I will spend a tiny bit more time researching into this.

The application here is not graphics, but image interpretation: given a perfect line drawing of a polyhedron or an origami figure, label the line segments as convex, concave, or occluding edges. Constraints between edges incident on a junction yields only a few consistent labelings. The labeling yields some shape information. I like folded paper best when it's green and has pictures of former Presidents and lots of zeros on it ;-) .
