Feature Request: Headlight control from context menu #97

Closed olafgithub closed 2 years ago

I noticed that it is not possible to turn the Headlight On or Off from the user interface (the context menu) This can be nice if you add additional light to a scene. This is how it is done in BS Contact:

As NavigationInfo node has a headlight field, which can be set by the author, I think a menu item should not be needed. Why should it be useful?

olafgithub commented 2 years ago

I am aware of the headlight field in the NavigationInfo node. What I like is to be able to switch the headlight on or off while exploring a scene to:

Change the atmosphere (see the scene of diving in NEMO 33 Brussel) when there are other light sources.
Show the luminous paint on a watch dial.

See the following images.

Thanks,

I forgot to mention that I just started using the Headlight On/Off feature in other browsers because it was there. For one VRML word I added a Billboard node with a dive timer, a depth gauge, and a headlight control: Clicking the headlight toggles between On and Off via the Navigationinfo node.
