What a fantastic idea. I don't have a browser, so I can't actually see
the space, but I can imagine.
The use of VRML to demonstrate Origami is something which is simple, yet
makes good use of the medium. The only other way it can be done
effectively is in person, which points out the potential of telepresence,
and the importance of personal contact. These are two things which VRML
can do, which Newspapers, Books, and Television cannot.
I think that the personal contact is the reason Origami is a tradition: It
requires teaching, and imparts creation, all from simple paper, and
imagination. For me: Enlightenment on a Web page.

> Enjoy!
As soon as I get a browser, I'll be back.
Thank you very much, Yoshiaki
