If you are looking for something right now you might want to take a
look at the navigation and control classes in "3D User Interfaces with
Java 3D". The book and its software focuses on this kind of 3D
interaction.
Start with the CameraNavigating example, which anyone can download at
www.manning.com/barrilleaux. This example demonstrates first and
second person navigation using a fly and an orbit camera. The control
classes support mouse, modifier, and arrow key control, range limits,
and scaling factors that can be configured in any combination (let's
you have it your way). Other examples show you how to configure
direct versus rate control, absolute versus relative drag origin, and
linear versus circular drag gestures.
