The Origami Forum

Apparently the app world has not explored origami the way it could have. AppStore for instance offers shallow apps which provide simple models only.

We might be able to diagram models using iPads, or to have a handy tool when folding.

Which is the best origami app?

I would be interested aswell, But I got an android phone. There are alot of apps, but they mostly cover the basics (frog/crane/pig etc.).

I have many ideas, I am planning on something to the future along with a few programmers friends lets wait just a little bit more.

Hey Orikami, I'm the director of a Translation agency (http://editorialgotama.com/). If you think you could use some help, I'd love to contribute. I have also a few ideas.

Is it possible to diagram with a tablet?

I've actually been thinking of designing diagramming software with opengl. Only problem is i'm not familiar with any algorithms that would be useful for this particular purpose (of diagramming origami) and I don't feel I have the skill set to design an efficient one.

Orikami, do you have ideas? Ultimately the most useful algorithm would be one that would be able to determine the shape of a model after doing a certain fold, what I mean is, if the user provided creases and proper arrows to collapse a crane base, the algorithm would put a crane base in the next step of the diagram without the user having to draw it themselves.

I imagine Robert J Lang would have some useful insight lol.
