Obligatory mention that this shape could also be represented as a dual quaternion.
- ars 8y agoAnd is a dual quaternion simpler than a sine wave?
- adamnemecek 8y agoIt’s more general and composes nicely.
- DonHopkins 8y agoAn octernian? There should be a unicode "sextuple-u" character so you can express "www" in one letter (and five fewer syllables). Think of all the time and bandwidth that would save!
- adamnemecek 8y agoNope, it’s not an octonion, it’s a dual quaternion. The nice think about dual quaternions is that they compose. So you could then connect this screw to another screw in a smooth fashion.
