I found x3dom options to restrict keyboard and mouse navigation especially useful. X3D may consider such more fine grained controls on top of the navigation modes. It may mean recommending additional navigation modes in the spec. such as onlyPAN, onlyZOOM, PANZOOM etc., or have a modifier to existing modes such as mode="-rotate" which would disable rotation. Browser are allowed to have such nonstandard navigation modes but I think it may make sense to standardize them. A question for the UI working group.</p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> </p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> </p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> </p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> </p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>x3d-public mailing list<br><a href="mailto:x3d-public@web3d.org" target="_blank">x3d-public@web3d.org</a><br><a href="http://web3d.org/mailman/listinfo/x3d-public_web3d.org" target="_blank">http://web3d.org/mailman/listinfo/x3d-public_web3d.org</a></p></blockquote></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>x3d-public mailing list<br><a href="mailto:x3d-public@web3d.org" target="_blank">x3d-public@web3d.org</a><br><a href="http://web3d.org/mailman/listinfo/x3d-public_web3d.org" target="_blank">http://web3d.org/mailman/listinfo/x3d-public_web3d.org</a></p></blockquote></div><p class=MsoNormal><br clear=all></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- </p><p class=MsoNormal>Nicholas F.
