Gw mau tau Fungsi dari Kuaternion

Meskipun tertetap sangat sederhana, fungsi yang hasilnya adalah bagiannya bilangan riil kuaternion ini memiliki kegunaannya tersendiri.

Fungsi rotasi vektor dapat menggunakan operasi kuaternion daripada operasi matriks riil 4x4, dengan rumus:

dan A adalah posisi benda yang dirotasikan, v adalah vektor poros rotasi, dan α adalah sudut rotasi berlawanan arah jarum jam.
