Some things about the quaternion

> I’ve been using quaternions. Because rotation in space is not easy, I was looking for a simple visualization. I found a lot of theory about quaternions and a workable converter. [http://www.energid.com/resources/orientation-calculator/](http://www.energid.com/resources/orientation-calculator/) But no visualization for my own requirements. So I created it myself. Quaternion and axis, angle are continuously converted into each other.

There is any formula to convert it I want to rotate on Y axis
