Various resources regarding virtual reality polyhedra.

The Uniform Polyhedra Contents Introduction About the Images on These Pages Background Information The Wythoff Symbol Geometric Properties Introduction Uniform polyhedra consist of regular faces and congruent vertices. Allowing for non-convex faces and vertex figures, there are 75 such polyhedra, as well as 2 infinite families of prisms and antiprisms. A recently discovered uniform way of ...

Jim Plank's Origami Page (Modular) Instructions Directions for making polyhedrons with the penultimate module Directions for making the compound of 5 tetrahedrons (pictured above) Directions for making greater/lesser stellated dodecahedrons with Jeannine Mosely's module Sketchy directions for making the compound of 12 dodecahdrons. (This assumes you're familiar with the penultimate module above).

Collection of practical polyhedra images by George W. Hart

Stellated Icosahedra There are 59 stellations of the icosahedron. These pages contain various images of these stellations and some background information. This information is an excerpt of an article published in Mathematica in Education . An expanded version appears in Chapter 10 of R. Maeder's book The Mathematica Programmer II.

Martin's Pretty Polyhedra What are they Fair question - I can't answer it - but I can tell you how I produced them and hundreds like them. Some have similarities to the domes designed by the architect Buckminster-Fuller (and the C60 molecule named after him, Buckminsterfullerene) and to other geodesic structures. One day while just sitting and thinking a question came into my mind. What would ...

Understanding Mathematics by Peter Alfeld, Department of Mathematics, University of Utah The Platonic Solids A platonic solid is a polyhedron all of whose faces are congruent regular polygons, and where the same number of faces meet at every vertex. The best know example is a cube (or hexahedron ) whose faces are six congruent squares. Manipulating the shapes on this page. If you have a Java ...

Objects that cannot be taken apart with two hands Have you ever felt, when you were trying to put something together, that you needed an extra hand This sculpture represents research results on the number of hands that a robot would need to assemble collections of simple geometric objects. It is made from 30 identical aluminum tubes, grouped and colored as five twisted tetrahedra. The ...
