Inverted eye camera rotation
28 January 2016 17:10
Hi!
We have not been able to find a way to invert the rotation of the eye camera in order to simulate the classic dragging behaviour of mobile devices (looking at the environment as into a photosphere or similar)
So we came up with this solution by editing the Camera.js code for our needs and by recompiling the engine…
The affected code portion in the B4W 15.11 is as follows:
It would be nice if you cold implement something similar or better and add a checkbox in the addon to enable this feature
Thanks a lot

exports.rotate_eye_camera = rotate_eye_camera;
function rotate_eye_camera(obj, phi, theta, phi_is_abs, theta_is_abs) {
var render = obj.render;
// prepare delta angles
var d_phi = phi;
var d_theta = theta;
if (phi_is_abs || theta_is_abs) {
var curr_angles = get_camera_angles(obj, _vec2_tmp2);
if (phi_is_abs)
d_phi = -(phi - curr_angles[0]);
if (theta_is_abs)
d_theta = -(theta - curr_angles[1]);
}
if (d_phi || d_theta) {
var rot_quat = m_quat.identity(_quat4_tmp);
if (d_phi) {
var quat_phi = m_quat.setAxisAngle(m_util.AXIS_Y, -d_phi/2, _quat4_tmp2);
m_quat.multiply(rot_quat, quat_phi, rot_quat);
}
if (d_theta) {
var x_world_cam = m_util.quat_to_dir(render.quat, m_util.AXIS_X, _vec3_tmp);
var quat_theta = m_quat.setAxisAngle(x_world_cam, -d_theta/2, _quat4_tmp2);
// NOTE: render.quat->x_world_cam->quat_theta->render.quat leads to
// error accumulation if quat_theta is not normalized
m_quat.normalize(quat_theta, quat_theta);
m_quat.multiply(rot_quat, quat_theta, rot_quat);
}
m_quat.multiply(rot_quat, render.quat, render.quat);
}
}

Hi,
I think we will make some additions to the mouse.js addon. To its request_pointerlock method to be precise.
For now, you can use the following construction without modifying engine modules:
