The next chapter of the Java 3D Tutorial, Chapter 4: Interaction, is
due for release this month. This is from the draft of the that
chapter. (This is only a draft)
In Java 3D, any input devices other than the keyboard or mouse is a
sensor. A sensor is a abstract concept of an input device. Each
sensor has a hotspot defined in the sensor's coordinate system.
The intersection of a sensor's hotspot with a region can be detected
with the WakeupOnSensorEntry and WakeupOnSensorExit classes.
It is possible for a sensor to enter and exit an armed region so
quickly that neither the SensorEntry nor SensorExit conditions are
triggered.
Hope this helps,
Dennis
