This is just notes for my benefit at the moment. I'm hoping to integrate the following bits and bobs:

• https://socket.io/get-started/chat/

Thoughts about control usability: Sadly, I don't think browser based interaction will do it for anyone. I think that for coarse control keyboard might be fine, but for fine positioning especially hover / hold type situations I think analogue control will be needed.

This might be workable given a 2 direction joystick for up/down rotate left / rotate right and then a slider for forward backward. Feels like this would be more helpful for exploring type motion as well as position holding around an object.

Might be interesting to see how a flight control model might work - question would be whether this could be managed from purely inertial inputs.
