Mark,
I've been working with the same kind of scenario over the past few
days. To look in different directions use the lookAt method that is part of
the Transform3D class. It allows you look at a point from a certain
location and specify the up vector. Controlling this from a GUI should be
possible, I haven't tried it but I think there is a way... If that's not
clear enough respond and maybe I can help you more.
