Lessons from computational origami

http://www.wimp.com/magicorigami/

Take your problems and turn them into problems that other people have solved.

Origami = graph theory

Real world applications:
medicine
science
space - solar array
body
consumer electronics

good for making something small for journey, big and sheet-like at the destination (great for body/health (heart stent), space), and efficient airbag flattening.
