I have not seen these, do they go beyond the traditional VRML
sensors?<br>
I've always wanted a screen-oriented dragger myself, so that
dragging is done parallel to the plane of the screen (or
perpendicular to the view's 'forward' vector. I've written that, but
it was not easy nor apparent, nor portable (Contact vs X3DOM vs
anything else).<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am wondering whether there are X3D Nodes,
or proposals for such, that allow the user to perform standard
3D transformations on objects in the scene. Concretely
speaking, what I have in mind are draggers like they seem to
exist in the inventor world:<span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
