X3dForWebAuthors.Chapter04ViewingNavigation.NavigationInfoExample
public class NavigationInfoExample extends Object

This example provides three Viewpoint nodes bound to corresponding selectable NavigationInfo nodes that override navigation modes in the Hello World example, superseding default NavigationInfo type provided in that contained Inline model. To test this model, change viewpoints and then try to navigate each time, noting the new navigation mode.

description This example provides three Viewpoint nodes bound to corresponding selectable NavigationInfo nodes that override navigation modes in the Hello World example, superseding default NavigationInfo type provided in that contained Inline model. To test this model, change viewpoints and then try to navigate each time, noting the new navigation mode.
info NavigationInfo nodes have their own binding stack, similar to Viewpoint nodes, meaning that they can be activated (bound) in any order, but only one can be active at a given time. Cross-connecting a custom NavigationInfo to some Viewpoints can improve user experience in larger scenes.
