Description: We give a constructive solution for the smooth movement of a rigid body in orientational space along the shortest path. Spherical solid body motion is associated with the movement of the point on the hypersphere in four-dimensional space along the arcs of large radius through the vertices of regular four-dimensional polytope. Smooth motion is provided by a choice of special nonlinear function of quaternion interpolation. For an analytical presentation of the law of continuous movement used the original algebraic representation of the Heaviside function.
