Interface GeoProximitySensor

All Superinterfaces:
X3DChildNode, X3DEnvironmentalSensorNode, X3DNode, X3DSensorNode
All Known Implementing Classes:
GeoProximitySensor

public interface GeoProximitySensor extends X3DEnvironmentalSensorNode
GeoProximitySensor generates events when the viewer enters, exits and moves within a region of space (defined by a box).

Warning: this is an abstract interface that cannot be instantiated as a concrete object. Java programmers typically only need to use concrete objects provided by the org.web3d.x3d.jsail classes. X3D node tooltip: (X3D version 3.2 or later) [X3DEnvironmentalSensorNode] GeoProximitySensor generates events when the viewer enters, exits and moves within a region of space (defined by a box). Hint: multiple USEd instances are cumulative, but avoid overlaps. Hint: can first use GeoTransform to relocate/reorient box. Hint: surround entire world to start behaviors once scene is loaded.
