I'm looking for the closest approximation to a VRML ProximitySensor
(and more).  By this I mean that I need contnuous notification
whenever anything about a given view changes, including geometry
(position, orientation) as well as viewing or display parameters (FOV,
projection, window size).

>From what I can see in the API there doesn't seem to be any wakeup
criteria for notification of view parameter changes (for FOV and
projection).  I can probably use AWT events to get display window
changes.  And, I can't seem to find something like
WakeupOnViewPlatformMovement (for position, orientation).  The closest
thing I could find is WakeupOnCollisionMovement but I don't want to
burden myself or the system with possible overhead from collision
detection.

I seem to recall from somewhere that there was some way to get
notification if the local-to-vworld transform changed but it eludes
me.

Any suggestions, hints, or observations?

Sun: If there is no equivalent for ProximitySensor, is there any hope
for getting some or all of this in Java 1.2?
