Description

Origami is the traditional Japanese art ofpaper folding, which started in the 17th century AD at the latestand was popularized outside of Japan in the mid-1900s. It has sincethen evolved into a modern art form. The goal of this art is totransform a flat sheet of paper into a finished sculpture throughfolding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts orglue are not considered to be origami. Paper cutting and gluing isusually considered kirigami.

The number of basic origami folds is small, but they can becombined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. The bestknown origami model is probably the Japanese paper crane. Ingeneral, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper whosesides may be different colors or prints. Traditional Japaneseorigami, which has been practiced since the Edo era, has often beenless strict about these conventions, sometimes cutting the paper orusing nonsquare shapes to start with.

If you’re not sure what live wallpapers are, they're a type ofapplication that works on a mobile device using the Androidoperating system (like your device!). The application works as awallpaper – providing the background image for the home screen—butalso works as a conventional application since it can provideuser-interaction with the touch screen (allowing the image tochange dynamically, for example) and access other hardware andsoftware features within the device (accelerometer, GPS, networkaccess, etc.).

**Multiple backgrounds!** Switch up the background as often oras little as you like with user-configurable options.

**Power saving features!** This app uses much less power thantypical live wallpapers. It will take a bit more power to operatethan a normal wallpaper, but much, much less battery power than theaverage live wallpaper.
