You don't want to interpolate euler angles. You'll have issues with zero crossings and gimbal lock, unless you add a bunch of checks and conditionals.

Is this the correct way to proceed?

Depending on the scalar jerky movement gets flattened, you'll have to tweak the parameter to your needs. You can even interpolate between quads: osg::Quad newQuad = .. // construct the quad out of your euler angles currentQuad = currentQuad.slerp(currentQuad, newQuad, scalar); store currentquad for the next frame and use it to construct the view matrix, this is code out of my head, the chance is high, that it doesn't compile.
