In addition to the github readme, there is an article with some photos and descriptions of the Folk Computer project: https://spikeartmagazine.com/articles/essay-emily-dickinson-...
Others have drawn the same connection to Dynamicland, but the article briefly mentions "Dynamicland, a project to which Folk owes much of its design and philosophy" and lists Omar Rizwan as one of the Folk Computer founders. Omar was on the Dynamicland staff ~2018-2020, see https://dynamicland.org/2023/People/
(Edit, it also looks like they have some presentations on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrXEtG3JILo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3kIzvCYWdE )
I'm watching the second video right now. Really interesting thing of comparing that Oculous and Apple Vision are doing vs what folk computer is doing to put the physical world first.
A weakness I see is the frequent printing and communication using glyphs similar to April tags. The origami buttons are clever tho.
