Zome Applications
- Envisioning Particles and Interactions
- A theoretical physicist envisions subatomic particle interactions with the help of Zome
- Aperiodic Tiling
- Quasicrystals and Aperiodic Tilings with Zome (advanced)
- Zome and hand crafted wooden lamps
- Zome used in design of lamps
- Using the small rhombicosidodecahedron in molecular models
- The Zome node is like a small rhombicosidodecahedron but with golden rectangles instead of a square
- Aurodyn's HyperFrame node and strut architecture structural system
- The HyperFrame node is based on a rhombic triacontahedron, which has the same directions as the Zome blue struts. Their S,M,L struts are in the golden ratio, also like the Zome blue struts.
- Visualizing Electromagnetism
- Zome is a general purpose modelling tool that enables visualization of electromagnetic concepts which range from models of atoms and molecules to electric transmission powerlines.
