Geometric Algebra

Projective Geometric Algebra

The projective model is the ideal starting point for CG programmers, and can be seen as the Geometric Algebra version of homogeneous coordinates. It is the most efficient model to cover all metric-preserving transformations. (rotations, translations).

Conformal Geometric Algebra

The conformal model extends the projective model adding in point-pairs, circles and spheres as first class citizens. Its rotors encode conformal transformations. (rotations, translations, dilations). It is a computationally more expensive, but versatile model with many applications in physics and science.
