Quaternions, Interpolation and Animation
by Erik B. Dam, Martin Koch, Martin Lillholm
Publisher: University of Copenhagen 1998
Number of pages: 103
Description:
The main topics of this technical report are quaternions, their mathematical properties, and how they can be used to rotate objects. We introduce quaternion mathematics and discuss why quaternions are a better choice for implementing rotation than the well-known matrix implementations.
