All Superinterfaces:: X3DChildNode, X3DEnvironmentalSensorNode, X3DNode, X3DSensorNode

All Known Implementing Classes:: ProximitySensor

public interface ProximitySensor extends X3DEnvironmentalSensorNode

ProximitySensor generates events when the viewer enters, exits and moves within a region of space (defined by a box).

Warning: this is an abstract interface that cannot be instantiated as a concrete object. Java programmers typically only need to use concrete objects provided by the org.web3d.x3d.jsail classes. ProximitySensor node tooltip: [X3DEnvironmentalSensorNode] ProximitySensor generates events when the viewer enters, exits and moves within a region of space (defined by a box).

Hint: multiple USEd instances are cumulative, but avoid overlaps.
Hint: can first use Transform to relocate/reorient box.
Hint: surround entire world to start behaviors once scene is loaded.

Package hint: This interface is defined by the X3D Java Language Binding Specification for the Scene Authoring Interface (SAI).
