The General Magic documentary is the tale of General Magic, a seminal technology company that endeavored to create the first smartphone-like device back in the early 1990s. The company started with former Apple employees such as Marc Porat, Andy Hertzfeld, and Bill Atkinson, who wanted...

Yesterday, I got my first internship interview experience, which was at a data economy company. Most of the interview meeting was actually the interviewer explaining the business model, as many of it was new to me. Here is what I understood from the meeting: Put...

I think the formula for the number of foldable tessellation possible given a specific grid (m x n): (m^(2mn-m-n))(n^(2mn-m-mn)) Additionally foldable tessellations can be composed of units with identical geometric patterns that are tessellated. Another option, which involves geometric gradients:

Degree 3 shapes intersect the x-axis at a maximum of three points

2D crystallographic symmetry is a way of describing patterns of symmetry in two-dimensional crystalline structures. A crystalline is a solid material with a highly ordered microscopic structure. At a larger scale, crystalline structures could also be tiles or wallpapers – patterns that repeat in a...

Some potential computational/geometrical Miura-Ori related research prompts:

The Miura Ori tessellation is recognized for having unique properties, one of which is its negative Poisson’s ratio. The Poisson’s ratio is the ratio of how much a material contracts or extends in the transversal and longitudinal direction, when subject to a tensile force. Most...

My first design using box pleating techniques. I got some help with the level shifters from Plant Physiologist’s Youtube tutorials. I treated my paper with MC and used a small cleaning cloth to gently push the air bubbles out, while absorbing the access MC. Much...

I gave it a shot to design a sea lion since there are relatively fewer appendages. Being able to accurately interpret proportions is one of the hardest parts for me. By changing the proportion, it got iterated for 2 times for now This design went through...

As a challenge to experiment with 15 and 30 degree angles, I came up with the “stick figure”. To my surprise, on my first test fold, the model was exactly what I was aiming for. I think what satisfied me the most was the proportions....
