[X3D-Public] X3DOM - navigation type TURNTABLE

[Behr, Johannes]

"Turntable" like interaction are today very common navigation methods in 3d modelling and exploring application. I believe this could be useful for X3D in general but don't like the typeParams interface to much. There is space for improvement. 

Best regards
Johannes

>> The turntable navigation example announced by X3DOM is nice. Anyone else try it?

>> Wondering if we should add TURNTABLE to our list of navigation types supported in X3D v3.4. Seems useful. I've added it to the candidate list, discussion will be welcome.
