# Quaternion

### Description

The Quaternion nodes provide several operations, specifically used for handling quaternions.

{% hint style="info" %}
A quaternion is a vector with four parameters that represent a rotation.
{% endhint %}

#### Quaternion Exposer

This node is used to expose certain parameters and attributes of a given input Unity [Quaternion](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.html), which are:

<table><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th width="204.3279424240331">Type</th><th width="340.1572968009442">Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>x</td><td>Float</td><td>X component of the vector</td></tr><tr><td>y</td><td>Float</td><td>Y component of the vector</td></tr><tr><td>z</td><td>Float</td><td>Z component of the vector</td></tr><tr><td>w</td><td>Float</td><td>W component of the vector</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Base

This collection of Nodes are responsible for performing basic useful operations with quaternions.

<table><thead><tr><th width="204">Node</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Angle</td><td>Calculates the angle, in degrees, between two rotations</td></tr><tr><td>Angle Axis</td><td>Creates a rotation which rotates angle degrees around axis</td></tr><tr><td>Dot</td><td>Dot Product of two rotations</td></tr><tr><td>Euler</td><td>Returns a rotation that rotates z degrees around the z axis, x degrees around the x axis, and y degrees around the y axis; applied in that order</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Interpolation

This collection of Nodes allows for the implementation of interpolation between quaternions.

<table><thead><tr><th width="204">Node</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Lerp</td><td>Interpolates between two rotations and normalizes the result afterwards</td></tr><tr><td>Sphere Lerp</td><td>Spherically interpolates between two rotations and normalizes the result afterwards</td></tr></tbody></table>

In both cases, the value `T` represents the value used for interpolation: if `T = 0` the result will be the first point, if `T = 1` the second.

#### Math

This collection of Nodes allows for simple mathematical operations between quaternions.

<table><thead><tr><th width="204">Node</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Quaternion Combine</td><td>Combines two rotations (i.e. applying the two rotations in sequence)</td></tr></tbody></table>

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.overthereality.ai/over-sdk-manual/over-visual-scripting-legacy/nodes/operations/quaternion.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
