Why can't anyone just answer the guy's technical question with some insight into how to do it instead of lecturing him on whether it's "proper" or not? Sheesh!
Personally I'd like to use this exact type of thing to allow the player's hand to interact with things in-view without actually moving the view. Or to allow the hand to be fixed and the view to move. For example a hand poking buttons or interacting with a VGUI panel which doesn't require the view to move all over to do so. Or to allow the player's hand to be actively holding or pressing on a button (for example) while looking around. Look too far and you break the hold. Specifically I would like to see this for a player using a stethoscope. Place it on a patients chest, listen to breathing, turn view a bit and look at EKG (for example). Quoting "Michael A.
