I spent a little bit of time following the links around and reading up. It's interesting but in the end it's simply a different approach to solving mathematical problems, analogous to the difference between using quaternions and matrices for working with rotations. Both work and each have their pros and cons.
To use geometrics generically in any dimension, it requires some fairly nasty code structures. But to use it only for the 3-D cases we're usually interested in, it's probably a bit easier. Unlike the analogy to quaternions, there's not a lot of support for these methods at the moment, so you'd go out on your own if you tried to implement such a system.Statistics: Posted by bone — Thu May 17, 2007 2:52 pm
