## Detailed Description

QAbstractCameraController sets up and handles input from keyboard, mouse, and other devices. QAbstractCameraController is an abstract class and cannot itself be instantiated. It provides a standard interface for camera controllers.

## Property Documentation

### acceleration : float

Holds the current acceleration of the camera controller.

Access functions:

float | acceleration() const
void | setAcceleration(float acceleration)

Notifier signal:

void | accelerationChanged(float acceleration)

### camera : Qt3DRender::QCamera*

Holds the currently controlled camera.

Access functions:

Qt3DRender::QCamera * | camera() const
void | setCamera(Qt3DRender::QCamera *camera)

Notifier signal:

void | cameraChanged()

### deceleration : float

Holds the current deceleration of the camera controller.

Access functions:

float | deceleration() const
void | setDeceleration(float deceleration)

Notifier signal:

void | decelerationChanged(float deceleration)

### linearSpeed : float

Holds the current linear speed of the camera controller. Linear speed determines the movement speed of the camera.

The default is `10.0`.

Access functions:

float | linearSpeed() const
void | setLinearSpeed(float linearSpeed)

Notifier signal:

void | linearSpeedChanged()

### lookSpeed : float

Holds the current look speed of the camera controller. The look speed determines the turn rate of the camera pan and tilt.

The default is `180.0`.

Access functions:

float | lookSpeed() const
void | setLookSpeed(float lookSpeed)

Notifier signal:

void | lookSpeedChanged()
