3DARCH-FT-15 | 3DARCH-EP-3 — Navigate and Explore the Virtual Workplace | IN_BACKLOG | EXACT | 3D Architecture Wizzard team | No |
Description
Enable a user to choose first- or third-person viewing and control the view without the camera passing through nearby scene geometry.
User or operator problem
Users need viewpoints suited to navigation and orientation without camera obstruction by nearby geometry.
Expected value
Improves spatial awareness while limiting camera clipping and overlay input conflicts.
Scope
Includes first/third-person switching, sensitivity-aware mouse look, obstruction-aware third-person distance, and predictable pointer capture.
Exclusions
- VR/controller navigation and generated-apartment review are excluded.
Acceptance outcomes
- The user can switch between supported camera modes.
- Mouse input controls the view at the configured sensitivity.
- Third-person camera distance responds to obstructing geometry.
- Pointer capture and release behave predictably around overlays and settings.
Dependencies
- 3DARCH-FT-12 — Discover and retain personal controls
- 3DARCH-FT-14 — Move through a collision-aware 3D workplace
Risks
- Third-person camera constraints and overlay pointer capture have legacy edge cases.
Human approval

Delivery status evidence
The Feature was separately registered at IN_BACKLOG as an accepted catalogue boundary. This records backlog retention, not design or delivery progress.
- Event: Catalogue registration
- Actor and authority: Linas — Human project team member
- Reason: The Feature catalogue was accepted for governed documentation and retained in the backlog.
- Status evidence
Architecture traceability
- Requirements: none derived.
- Readiness: Not started.
Architecture solution work must not begin until a separate human Approved for Solution decision is recorded.
