Detailed Description

This helper allows the user to control a node using W, A, S, D, the arrow keys, and the mouse. Usually the controlled node is a Camera, specified in the controlledObject property.

Adding a WasdController can be highly useful both in applications that wish to provide a standard way of navigating the scene, and also as a temporary measure during development and troubleshooting, as it allows inspecting the scene at run time via familiar keyboard and mouse navigation.

The key bindings are as follows:

• W or up - go forward
• S or down - go backward
• A or left - strafe left
• D or right - strafe right
• R or page up - move up
• F or page down - move down
• shift together with other keys - move faster, depending on shiftSpeed

The following snippet shows how a WasdController object can be added. By default both key and mouse based navigation is active, so in most cases there is no further configuration needed:

View3D {
    anchors.fill: parent
    camera: camera
    PerspectiveCamera {
        id: camera
        position: Qt.vector3d(0, 0, 600)
    }
    ...
}

WasdController {
    controlledObject: camera
}
