An open-source tutorial document introducing quaternions and their applications in 3D rotation and computer graphics, including a bonus chapter on Gimbal Lock. It is published as a web page and PDF, with MATLAB/Octave demo code generating animation GIFs.
Use cases
- learn how quaternions represent 3D rotations
- understand quaternion math for computer graphics
- understand why gimbal lock happens
- compare rotation representations like Euler angles vs quaternions
- find demo code visualizing 3D rotations
- prepare for 3D game engine or graphics programming
When to choose
- you want a concise, visual introduction to quaternions for 3D geometry
- you need an intuitive explanation of gimbal lock
- you are learning graphics or game development math
When to avoid
- you need a rigorous, textbook-level treatment of quaternion algebra
- you need maintained software or a library rather than a document
- you need a formally reviewed reference, as the author notes errors may exist
