Vector3's are an essential datatype for working with Three.JS and React Three Fiber, especially when animating. Let's run through a project to learn how to use them and build an intuition for 3D motion and animation in the process.

We will cover how to use Vector3s to represent position, velocity, acceleration, and forces. We'll also use React Three Fiber to animate an object using these values and update the rotation of the object to point in the direction of movement(the velocity).
