Remarks

OIV.Inventor.Projectors.SbSphereSheetProjector projects a window space point (usually based on the mouse location) onto the surface of a sphere with a hyperbolic sheet draped over it. This allows smooth transitions onto and off of the sphere. Two projected points can produce a rotation about the sphere's center. When the mouse position projects on to the sheet, the rotations will be as if the sheet is being dragged, causing the sphere to roll beneath it.

Incremental changes (delta rotation) can be computed during interactive sessions. Sphere projectors are typically used to write interactive 3D manipulators and viewers.
