Re: [Origami] Real problems we could solve with folded paper?

 Ifrequently fold paper to make rough prototypes or to create reusable
templates for angles or polygons. This is especially useful for visualizing
weird geometries, since 2D images on a computer screen only get you so far.

This reminds me of the foldable protractor.

   Perhaps a more permanent one could be created.  One with really accurate 
angles.  The cleverness of this, makes it more useful than a protractor for 
most angles, especially as related to origami.
