Notes on the Demo

The demo illustrates the octasphere-related considerations below.

Hints:

Click the step button to proceed and use the slider to set your preferred animation speed.
Drag the sphere to turn it around so that you can see things from different angles.
Add a query parameter "start" to the URL if you want to start at a particular step.
Add a query parameter "n" to the URL to set the subdivision granularity. The default value is 6 and some parts of the demo were actually written with that value in mind.
A query parameter "rbt" can be used to select the triangulation function for the rounded box. Supported values: "flat", "sines", "geodesics", "evenGeodesics", "parallels", "sineBased", "sineBased2", "asinBased", "balanced".

So https://hcschuetz.github.io/octasphere/presentation/dist/?start=2&n=10&rbt=sineBased displays step 2 with subdivision granularity 10 and triangulation function sineBased.
