An oloid is a three-dimensional geometric shape formed by the combination of two circular disks of equal radius, which are joined at their edges. The shape has a distinctive smooth, continuous surface and unique mathematical properties. When one of the disks rolls on a flat surface, the oloid can create a fascinating motion because of its unique curvature. The oloid was first described by the mathematician Paul Schatz in the 1920s.
