Dynamics in the Quaternions

This video documents a very early version (1989) of the visualization research that led to the project Quaternion Julia Sets in Virtual Reality that premiered at Supercomputing '95.

In 1989 John Hart, a master of science graduate student in the computer science department at UIC, hit upon the idea of using a distance estimation technique witch made computation more efficient and provided a basis for determining surface orientation of three and higher dimensional fractal objects.

In the video, MS Student John Hart presents a visualization of the quaternion extension of a single Julia Set. The Julia set is rotated in the complex plane, and action which causes dynamic alterations to its quaternion extension.
In 2002, and informational CD-ROM was created that showcases the history of this visualization research. The website can be found at -- http://www.evl.uic.edu/hypercomplex/

I don't like unexplained math it hurts

[headlesslogic]

this representaion makes me feel like a flatlander

=_= T_T

[masonnf1]

i fully understand . i just dont know the terminology.

This kinda looks like a cyriak video

i read that julia sets are like mandlebrot sets except julias inverse what limits the mandlebrot is set by. both as seen in this awesome illustration shows it in time

so we can see waht the buds and figures would look like. whats interesting about them is that the interval at which any given boundary is stable is a universal number and its called the feigenbaum constant. another book i read said that the our hearts life threatening defibrillations are off by that number.

@pokemonkiller20 then since this is explained or representing aleves?

[Misterlegoboy]

whats in the what what?

[NingyoAijin]

...Why do I feel like I understand how this works?

I don't think I do, but... Pleh?

[Aikamatsu]

too many VARIABLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>_­<

I need a chewing gum right now

[streetcornerjames]

looks like taffy
