orthogonal group in three dimensions, rotation group SO(3), is frequently interpreted with versors via the inner automorphism where is a versor. Indeed, if

: and vector is perpendicular to ,

then

: by calculation. The plane is isomorphic to and the inner automorphism, by commutativity, reduces to the identity mapping there.Since quaternions can be interpreted as an algebra of two
