Description


The quaternion represents a vector used to encode three-dimensional physical rotations. It is used to efficiently rotate an object around the (x,y,z) vector by angle theta, where the following applies:

w = cos(theta/2)

Componets

W - The rotation component.
X - The X value of the vector component.
Y - The Y value of the vector component.
Z - The Z value of the vector component.


Quaternion Addition


Addition is the simplest calculation rule for quaternions. This function adds the corresponding element of two quaternions to each element in a quaternion.

\((w_1+w_2)+i(x_1+x_2)+j(y_1+y_2)+k(z_1+z_2)\)
