The current camera navigation mode

CAMERAMODES navigationMode;

The camera has two distinct navigation modes, regular and game. The regular mode is used for objects and certain 3D movie type content. Dragging the mouse with the left button down will rotate the camera. If the user has a 3-button mouse, holding down the middle button while dragging will move the object. And for mice with a wheel, this will zoom in and out. You can select a different action than rotate for the left mouse button through the context menu.

The game mode is used for navigating through scenes. Here the mouse buttons make the camera move forwards/backwards or from side to side. Dragging the mouse with the left button down will rotate the camera, continuously changing the direction the camera is moving. For this mode you can select several acceleration and speed parameters.
