Lol I didn’t quite get my math right, but it still involves imaginary numbers. Fun fact! Any 3D game you’ve played in the past probably quarter century doesn’t just use 1 dimension of imaginary numbers, but 3 to represent 3D rotation! Quaternions are difficult to visualize since it’s a 4-dimensional quantity but they’re perfect for representing rotation in 3D space without suffering from gimbal lock like rotation matrices.
And just like that, I’m back to junior high grumbling about the concept of imaginary numbers.
Fuck you, y’all made up! 🤣
