Camera

The camera provides your window into the 3D world. It is synonymous to a physical camera in a movie or television program, except that you can control it.

Controls

You can control the camera with the mouse, keyboard, SpaceMouse, or a tracking device such as the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive. The camera can be configured from the Settings window under User Interface > Navigation.
