The purpose of this talk is to draw ties between notions of discrete conformality and directional fields on triangle meshes, and demonstrate how properties and structure from the continuum are preserved under the discretization. Rather than give concrete answers, this talk hinted at connections between such discretizations as interesting topics of research into a greater unified discrete conformal theory.
