Title:

Two Methods for Visualizing Quaternion Julia Sets

 

Abstract:

Julia sets provide a fascinating array of fractal shapes that have been the object of much study. Traditional Julia sets can be extended from the complex plane into four dimensions using quaternions, yielding beautiful and complex solid fractals. This talk will introduce quaternion Julia sets, and describe the best-known methods for rendering their three-dimensional cross-sections: boundary tracking and ray-tracing.
