> Quaternions are a very nice and compact way of representing rotations. Ie. you can multiply quaternions to apply rotation (though non-commutative - due to being rotations). They are basically the evolution of complex numbers (which are good for rotations in 2D space), and you can easily build a rotation matrix from them. And they are also not susceptible to [gimbal lock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimbal_lock) which is a big benefit -- GitHub Notification of comment by pozdnyakov Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/sensors/issues/170#issuecomment-282718973 using your GitHub account
