Origami Simulator: folding beyond paper

Abstract

[en] This project aims to create a multi-platform application that allows the user to emulate the folding of a paper into an origami figure in a virtual environment. This application would start to solve the very time-consuming task in the origami world of diagramming, creating instructions for a specific model. In this proposal, a list of possible simple folds has been selected and each has been mathematically described with its constraints and requirements. A data structure that adapts to the complex origami folding process has been designed and a Unity application has been coded to allow the user to visualize and intuitively interact with it in a simple and clean graphic interface.
