NameTypeDescription
positionVec3

The camera's place in Earth radii from the Earth's centre, in the scene's axes.

velocityVec3

Its direction of travel, in any unit: only the direction is used.

lookRideLook
yawnumber

The shared controls' yaw in degrees (a drag across the view is 180): turns the camera to look along its picture's left, so the ground moves right. 0 has the way it is going at the top of the picture.

tiltnumber

The shared controls' tilt in degrees (a drag down the view is 60): tips the camera to look towards the bottom of its picture, so the ground moves up.

zoomnumber

1 is the natural view; more narrows the field of view.

Examples

import type { RideInput } from "@johnmorrisdotca/chikyu-earth/space";

const input: RideInput = { position: [1.066, 0, 0], velocity: [0, 0, -7.66], look: "down", yaw: 0, tilt: 0, zoom: 1 };
console.log(input.look);
