⚡ AR Technical Interview • Q3/10

04:32

What is the primary mathematical reason quaternions are favored over Euler angles in 3D spatial tracking?

A They consume less memory on mobile GPUs

B They avoid Gimbal Lock and interpolate smoothly (SLERP)

C They require zero matrix multiplication

D They are natively executed in hardware by IMUs

✓ Correct Explanation: Quaternions represent 3D orientation without Gimbal Lock (loss of a degree of freedom when axes align) and provide seamless Spherical Linear Interpolation (SLERP) for smooth camera poses.
