Generating a trajectory of quaternions between two given quaternions

First, check my previous post on slerp to learn how to interpolate between two quaternions. In this post, we make a function that uses the previously developed interpolation to generate points (quaternions) between and initial and a final quaternion namely, … Continue reading

Slerp: Spherical linear interpolation in quaternion space

in my previous post, I explained the simple Lerp method for calculating linear interpolation in the quaternion space. I also mentioned that while normalizing the output could help to get an optimized result, the velocity curve is not constant. To … Continue reading

Lerp: Linear interpolation in quaternion space

Lerp stands for Linear interpolation. It is method for linearly interpolate between quaternions. Consider and as two quaternions and . Lerp works as follows: The interpolation curve for the linear interpolation (Lerp) gives a straight line in quaternion space and … Continue reading
