this is awesome! and super helpful for illustrating why quaternions are worth using.  - that said, do you think you could add a view that doesn't use quaternions, so that one could induce gimbal lock? you could show how the same input for euler and quaternion produces gimbal lock in one but not the other.

I’ve thought about expanding this into a real lesson at some point, but I’m hampered by not actually being a subject matter expert! I’d add that all of these same properties are true of rotation matrices which are a lot less confusing to work with by hand.
