Go round the loop. Come back changed.
Holonomy Digital is an independent software studio. We make focused apps for iPhone and the web, and the first is Revival.
An arrow carried around this loop, kept as straight as the surface allows, comes back turned by the curvature inside it. Drag to turn the sphere.

The name
In curved space, an arrow carried around a closed loop doesn't come back the way it left. The turn it picks up is its holonomy, and it measures the curvature inside the loop. On the sphere above the loop encloses an eighth of the surface, so the arrow turns by π/2.
Every project is a loop like that. We ship, learn and come back round, and each time the work points somewhere a little different. More about the studio and the name.
