#geometricalgebra #projections #reflections #rotations In this video, we discover a simple formula for projections, and we figure out its geometric interpretation. We will need projections in the next video, because they will provide the building blocks for reflections and rotations.

I can't seem to find it back online at the moment. If you know a link, share it in the comments below! On page 15, he gives a derivation of the projection & rejection formulas, starting from their geometric requirements. 0:00 Constructing all transformations from reflections 3:09 The formula for the projection 6:00 The formula for the rejection 6:12 The formulas look almost like sandwich products 7:25 The formula does not depend on the length of v 9:40 What the formula means geometrically 11:30 Extensions to other kinds of shapes This video is published under a CC Attribution license ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ )
