No analytical method for the design of curved folds has been reported. Although optimization methods exist, it is difficult to interactively design valid curved folds of a single developable surface using such methods. In the present paper, we propose an interactive system for designing a surface with planar curved folds based on mirror reflection. The key consideration is that a surface created by sequential reflective folding is guaranteed to be isometrically unfolded into a plane. We demonstrate that the proposed system enables the interactive design of a variety of expressive curved folds, which was very difficult using previous methods.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.5 [Computer Graphics]: Computational Geometry and Object Modeling-Curve, surface, solid, and object representations
