* This is a helper function to resolve an issue with opposite quaternions being interpolated by
* OpenGL. See below for a detailed description of this issue (yuriks):
* This is a helper function to resolve an issue when interpolating opposite quaternions. See below
* for a detailed description of this issue (yuriks):
*
* For any rotation, there are two quaternions Q, and -Q, that represent the same rotation. If you
* interpolate two quaternions that are opposite, instead of going from one rotation to another
* using the shortest path, you'll go around the longest path. You can test if two quaternions are
* opposite by checking if Dot(Q1, W2) < 0. In that case, you can flip either of them, therefore
* making Dot(-Q1, W2) positive.
* opposite by checking if Dot(Q1, Q2) < 0. In that case, you can flip either of them, therefore
* making Dot(Q1, -Q2) positive.
*
* NOTE: This solution corrects this issue per-vertex before passing the quaternions to OpenGL. This
* should be correct for nearly all cases, however a more correct implementation (but less trivial
* and perhaps unnecessary) would be to handle this per-fragment, by interpolating the quaternions
* manually using two Lerps, and doing this correction before each Lerp.
* This solution corrects this issue per-vertex before passing the quaternions to OpenGL. This is
* correct for most cases but can still rotate around the long way sometimes. An implementation
* which did `lerp(lerp(Q1, Q2), Q3)` (with proper weighting), applying the dot product check
* between each step would work for those cases at the cost of being more complex to implement.
*
* Fortunately however, the 3DS hardware happens to also use this exact same logic to work around
* these issues, making this basic implementation actually more accurate to the hardware.
