[x3d-public] WebVR Specification

> position Position of the sensor at timeStamp as a 3D vector. 
> Position is given in meters from an origin point, which is either 
> the position the sensor was first read at or the position of the 
> sensor at the point that resetSensor was last called. The coordinate 
> system uses these axis definitions:

  a.. Positive X is to the users right.
  b.. Positive Y is up.
  c.. Positive Z is behind the user.
The 19974 and X3D standards have the Humanoid default pose as:

  a.. Positive X is humanoid left. x=0 between feet appox vertical 
midline,
  b.. Positive Y is humanoid up. y=0 at floor, between feet,
  c.. Positive Z is in front of humanoid. z=0 between feet, facing +Z.
So, is their default inputs have the sensor facing -Z, which is the 
default direction for X3D Viewpoint.
Interestingly, to orient a Viewpoint held by the Humanoid eye Joint to 
simulate what the humanoid eye would see, you need to reorient the 
viewpoint to make it gaze +z.

Confusing? Shouldn't that spec assume that the sensor is default aimed 
the same direction as the user would see it, rather than the way, for 
example, a default viewpoint would see it?

Thanks and Best,
Joe
