ProxSensor
The ProxSensor helper creates a VRML97 ProximitySensor node. This lets you set up a rectangular region in space, so that entering
the region in a VRML97 browser starts a set of objects animating.
Procedures
To create a Proximity Sensor object:
- Add a Proximity Sensor object by clicking the ProxSensor button and then click-dragging in the Top viewport to create its
icon.
- Select the geometry, camera, or sound to control.
When the user navigates inside the box, the specified objects animate or the sound plays.
