Origami fascinates as it's mathematical to the max. Seems a brilliant VR game designer, Eric Chahi, has taken this notion to the max with his game titled Paper Beast where data becomes prime driver and everything's alive ... to the max.
Chahi knew this could make for an innovative and intriguing thematic base for a game, but he was unsure of how to realize his vision and connect the dots. From the first prototype, he was set on juxtaposing paper with big data and creating a world teeming with unique flora and fauna. “It’s not realistic, but there’s a connection to data,” he tells me. “The first use of paper is to write on it, which strongly connects it to data, [because] it’s a connection to information. So why not create a universe born out of big data?”
Wish this game was on the web. Elegant and thought-provoking comes to mind here without question.
Mathematical indeed.
