Liquid Galaxy project

Control the Liquid Galaxy through Android Controller in a similar way of the 3d controller: move around, zoom, etc

Currently to freely navigate around in LGa 3d Controller is needed, or a mouse/keyboard combination. We use the Space Navigator usually: https://www.3dconnexion.com/products/spacemouse/spacenavigator.html

To see the current status and fuctionality of the Liquid Galaxy Controller, please take a look at our wiki: https://github.com/LiquidGalaxyLAB/Liquid-Galaxy-POIs-Controller/wiki The aim of this task is to add a new functionality into Android Controller that simulates the 3d Controller and send the commands to the LG to freely navigate through the planet. An idea could be to place some arrows on the Android App and when the user touch them, do the corresponding movement on LG or to place some zoom buttons on Android App that do the corresponding zoom on LG.

Deliverable is a pull request to the github repository and a shared Google doc sent to us at lgcodein@gmail.com describing the experience, possible errors, bugs, etc, and a txt file with all the needed code
