Computing average rotations is a fundamental sensor fusion problem. In virtual reality, the problem naturally arises in connection with position sensing. Two methods are derived for additive averaging of rotations. One of these methods, based on quarternions, is limited to averages of three-dimensional rotations, but the other method, based on singular value decomposition, works in any Euclidean space.>
