Standard:
Avalon

SpaceSensor

SphereSensor converts pointing device motion into a (1) spherical rotation about the origin of the local coordinate system, (2) translation on the viewing plane, (3) zoom along the viewing ray. Hint: Sensors are affected by peer nodes and children of peers.

id Name DataType PartType Default ValueType Description
SFBool autoOffset SFBool inputOutput TRUE Determines whether previous offset values are remembered/accumulated.
SFVec3f trackPoint_changed SFVec3f outputOnly trackPoint_changed events give intersection point of bearing with sensor's virtual geometry.
SFBool isOver SFBool outputOnly Is pointing device over sensor's geometry?
SFString description SFString inputOutput Text description to comment the sensor task. Can be used in run-time systems to give usefull feedback to the user and developer
SFBool enabled SFBool inputOutput TRUE Enables/disables the sensor node.
SFBool isActive SFBool outputOnly FALSE isActive true/false events are sent when the sensor gets active
SFNode metadata SFNode inputOutput MetadataObject container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element
