The mnemonic button labels indicate their keyboard counterpart inside (). All buttons and keys do something visible in the RTICA. So keep the RTICA open as you read this document. [st(o)p] toggles the rotator based on last mouse position or finger tap. [morph(h)] toggles the "teaser" animation. [(b)inoc] toggles the cross-eyed stereo pairs. [sha(p)e] cycles through additional variants of the main surface. [(f)ore] flies camera forward, in lieu of the traditional 3-button mouse. [(a)ft] flies backward. Hold these repeaters keys and steer with mouse, or tap at a new position on a mouseless device. [fl(y)] toggles fly/turn mode of moused rotation center: user/object [(z)ap] resets state parameters to initial values, but not navigation. To start over from the beginning refresh refresh your browser. On a computer, the mouse rotator is "second order", like the rudder of a boat rather than the steering wheel of a car. The angular velocity depends on the distance of the mouse from the center of the screen. The direction from the center to the mouse is the axis of rotation in the xy-plane of the screen (yaw and pitch, no roll). On a device (phone, pad, etc) the position of the "mouse" is indicated by a finger tap on the touch screen. Keys may function as switches, toggles, cyclers, and "sliders". You can discover which by experimentation. Some keys in some RTICA accept a shift modifier which reversed the action. Thus the pair of repeater keys (f)ore and (a)ft might be replaced by (f) and (shift)+(f). Some RTICAs have cyclers on the 2^n numbers 0,1,2,...,(2^n-1) and flip n toggles according to the n bits of their binary expansion. Thus a single key can run through all combinations of the toggles.
