Portal Crane with Control Panel

Portal Crane with Control Panel

The vrcrane_panel example is based on the vrcrane_joystick example, here a control panel placed in the scene is used for interactive operator control.

The model is associated with the same virtual world as other variants of the portal crane model, however the control panel is visible only in this variant. This is achieved by placing the operator console in a Switch node branch that is set to visible by changing the "choice" field value of the "Console_Switch" node in the model PostLoadFcn and StartFcn callbacks.
