Hi Nicolas,
The tilt angle is unsigned: it does not differentiate between a clockwise
and anticlockwise rotation because it is defined by any rotation axis
orthogonal to the reference vector V: if a given axis is orthogonal to V,
then the opposite axis is orthogonal as well an the tilt angle is the same.
Inverting the reference axis doesn't change things either.
If you have a well-defined axis of rotation, then you may need a spin angle
instead.
