X3Dom interaction and navigation

The current WebGL/JS implementation of X3DOM provides, as every X3D-runtime, some generic interaction and navigation methods. Interactive objects will be handled by HTML-Like events. Navigation can be user-defined or controlled by specific predefined modes. Right now only a simple EXAMINE-mode is implemented. WALK, FLY and LOOKAT will come later.

Examine Mode:

Right now only a simple EXAMINE-mode is implemented. Use the left mouse button to rotate, the middle mouse button for pan and the right for zoom. WALK, FLY and LOOKAT will come later.
Button Function
Left Button / Left Button + Shift Rotate
Mid Button / Left Button + Ctl Pan
Right Button / Wheel / Left Button + Alt Zoom
Left double click Set center of rotation

If the web page has scroll bars and autoscrolling is enabled, Mid-Button currently does not work yet. As a workaround, you can disable autoscrolling by unchecking the Use autoscrolling checkbox in the firefox browser options, as is shown in the screenshot below (for the Firefox case).
