==Double Quaternions==

Note that double quaternions are different from dual quaternions.

Double quaternions are written as <math>q_1 + \epsilon q_2</math> with <math>\epsilon^2 = 1</math> and applied to a quaternion <math>p</math> representing a point as <math>q_1 p ~~q_2~~</math>.

Double quaternions are written as <math>q_1 + \epsilon q_2</math> with <math>\epsilon^2 = 1</math> and applied to a quaternion <math>p</math> representing a point as <math>q_1 p \bar{q}_2</math>.

Dual quaternions are written as <math>q_1 + \varepsilon q_2</math> with <math>\varepsilon^2 = 0</math> and applied to a dual quaternion <math>p</math> representing a point as <math>(q_1 + \varepsilon q_2) p (\bar{q}_1 + \varepsilon \bar{q}_2)</math>

Suppose our point is <math>\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{R}^3</math> and our translation has direction <math>\mathbf{d} \in \mathbb{R}^3</math> with distance <math>d</math>.
