[x3d-public] extra NavigationInfo modes, ptm

Andreas - I like your Viewpiont-re-use ideas, if necessary split viewpoint
Viewpoint :: Camera
Projector :: Camera
And yes - same orientation methods as Viewpoint would make sense.
Holger what did you do?

I think because it's slow/busy shader code you wouldn't want it to apply
universally - you'd want to pair it explicitly with whatever shapes are
going to get it.
Projector maybe implies the wrong thing. It's not like you are shooting
rays from the projector and seeing what geom it htis. It should be the
other way I think for sanity and efficiency - when you have geometry that's
getting PTM then you run a special shader and give it the relative pose of
the projector and (ortho or perspective) and construct a ray from your
shape surface pixel back toward the projectors image plane - through the
perspective center / focal point if perspective, or perpendicular to the
image plane if ortho.
The image plane is an infinite plane. And when your ray hits that plane you
get an xy on the plane, and you see if its inside the image. If not, its a
miss, else it's a hit, and you do a smapler2D on the image and do your
modulate or replace or whatever.
Holger what did you do?
