Computational Origami

Link : http://www.theiff.org/oexhibits/paper01.html

Computational Origami, a relatively young field which describes about the use of mathematical means to lay crease on a piece of a square paper and fold along it, to develope complex polygons like insects and spiders more realistically holding the shape intact.

A read thro' is interesting.
