Geometric Algebra for PlayCanvas?

[kungfooman]

The last days I am looking into Geometric Algebra and it seems to solve a lot of problems:

Does anyone have experience with it? The learning curve seems quite steep, but then it also creates "easy" unique/short solutions to hard problems, once somebody understands it.

E.g. as a concrete example, it could help quickly developing dual quat skinning (under 50 lines of code):

https://enkimute.github.io/ganja.js/examples/coffeeshop.html#pga3d_skinning

// Create a Clifford Algebra with 3,0,1 metric. 
Algebra(3,0,1,()=>{ 

  // We demonstrate dual quaternion skinning in the PGA3D framework, and show
  // how it resolves the candywrapping artefacts known from linear blend skinning.
    
  // Specify a point directly (trivectors specified with overloaded e-notation.)
  var point = (x,y,z)=>1e123-x*1e012+y*1e013+z*1e023;
  var rotor = (P,a)=>Math.cos(a/2)+Math.sin(a/2)*P;
  var motor = (d,V)=>(1+d*V);
  
  // our point and edge lists
  var  sides=4, points=[], points_orig, items=[''];

  // vertices and edges for a square rod.
  for (var i=0;i<15;i++) for (var j=0;j<sides;j++) points.push(rotor(1e13,(Math.PI*2/sides)*j)>>>point(-0.5,-1+i/7.5,0));
  for (var i=0;i<15;i++) for (var j=0;j<sides;j++) items.push([points[i*sides+j],points[i*sides+((j+1)%sides)]]);
  for (var i=0;i<14;i++) for (var j=0;j<sides;j++) items.push([points[i*sides+j],points[(i+1)*sides+j]]);
  points_orig = points.map(x=>x.slice());
  
  // Graph the 3D items
  document.body.appendChild(this.graph(()=>{
    var time=performance.now()/4000;    
    
    // two bones, one at the top, one at the bottom
    var b1 = rotor(-1e13,Math.PI*.6*Math.sin(time*10)) * motor(Math.sin(time),.2e01);
    var b2 = rotor(1e13,Math.PI*.6*Math.sin(time*10))  * motor(Math.sin(time/2),.2e01);
    
    // Transform all points.
    for (var i in points) {
    // Weights for both bones.
      var w1 = (points[i].e013+1)/2, w2 = 1-w1;
    
    // Alternate between DQS and LBS  
      if ((time%2)<1) {
        items[0]='Dual Quaternion Skinning';  
        points[i].set((w1*b1+w2*b2).Normalized >>> points_orig[i]);
      } else {
        items[0]='Linear Blend Skinning';  
        points[i].set(w1*(b1>>>points_orig[i]) + w2*(b2>>>points_orig[i]));
      }
    }
    return items;
  },{animate:true})); 
  
});
