quaternion_turret_tracking

quaternion_turret_tracking

Representative quaternion usage for turret/camera tracking.

Scenario

The turret has a current orientation and a desired target orientation. We interpolate with quaternions and inspect angular error reduction.

Run

v run examples/quaternion_turret_tracking/main.v

What this demonstrates

• smooth orientation transition with slerp
• error monitoring via rotation_intrinsic_distance
• practical comparison of lerp, nlerp, and slerp at mid-trajectory

Why this is representative

• directly maps to lock-on / aim-tracking behavior in games
• uses metrics that gameplay/engine code can consume
• highlights interpolation tradeoffs relevant for performance vs fidelity
