Quaternion.
</brief_description>
<description>
A 4-dimensional vector representing a rotation.
The vector represents a 4 dimensional complex number where multiplication of the basis elements is not commutative (multiplying i with j gives a different result than multiplying j with i).
Multiplying quaternions reproduces rotation sequences. However quaternions need to be often renormalized, or else they suffer from precision issues.
It can be used to perform SLERP (spherical-linear interpolation) between two rotations.
