Gimbals.x3d using X3DOM

(.x3d scene, pretty-print source, statistics, info & logs, X3DOM home)

Gimbals for user-driven roll pitch and yaw angle conversions, also shows conversion from X3D (VRML) to DIS coordinate system. Select and drag each copper-colored gimbal for a CylinderSensor to change a rotation angle, script code displays changed orientaion values. Model inspiration by Bob McGhee.
