Try using ListPlotVectorField3D in the Graphics 'PlotField3D' package.
Use the (x,y,z) triplets as the starting point of the vector, the
length and direction of the vector to represent rotation/orientation,
and plot one vector every t seconds which will represent time as the
spacing between the vectors.

Good luck,

Erik Rossen.
