This is absolutely gorgeous. Doesn't work on my mobile device but well worth investigating on desktop. Fun for me since I used to have a hobby of making various polyhedra with unit origami [1]. Apparently it's an update from this older site. [2]
Amazing, I just finished writing a program to do the same thing, with a smaller subset of polyhedra, specifically for printing or CNC work. If I had found this a month ago I might have saved myself hours.
After starting the project, I found this: http://www.spiralsbysteve.com/globes.php. If we can produce something that looks half as good as this, I'll be thrilled.
Very interesting. It would have been really cool if you could drag&drop the "globe" around in realtime (i.e. shift things so Australia was at the center, or Canada, or wherever.
