    This example shows how to use a CharacterController to move the camera in a scene, giving
    a first-person view. The character controller represents the viewpoint of the user as an
    entity that is constrained by the physical geometry of the scene, walks on the ground,
    climbs up/down stairs, and interacts with triggers.

    \section1 The scene

    The scene consists of a simple building which is defined in Building.qml, and will not
    be explained in detail. (The mesh \c building.mesh was made using Blender. It can be
    recreated from building.gltf using the \e balsam tool.)

    The building contains three triggers:
    \list
    \li A trigger that opens the door. Implemented internally in Building.qml
    \li A "gravityField" trigger that sets a property \c inGravityField when something is inside it.
    \li A "teleport" trigger that emits a signal \c teleporterTriggered when something enters it.
    \endlist

    \section1 The character controller

    The complete character controller logic is as follows:

    \snippet charactercontroller/main.qml charactercontroller

    The character controller needs a shape. Only CapsuleShape is supported. Note that the \e height
    property refers to the height of the cylinder part of the capsule: the total height of the
    character is calculated by adding the height of the bottom and top hemispheres:
    \snippet charactercontroller/main.qml capsuleshape

    In order to trigger a TriggerBody, the character controller must have the
    \l {PhysicsNode::}{sendTriggerReports} property set to \c true:
    \snippet charactercontroller/main.qml triggerreports

    CharacterController has its own \l{CharacterController::}{gravity} property, independent of
    PhysicsWorld. The common use case is to switch between walking and flying.
    In this example, we implement an antigravity field by changing the \c gravity property to point
    upwards when the character is inside the "gravityField" trigger:
    \snippet charactercontroller/main.qml gravity

    \section2 Position and movement

    When the \c teleporterTriggered signal is emitted, we change the position and orientation of
    the character back to its initial position. Note that the \l {Node::}{position} property should
    not be changed while the simulation is running. Use the \l {CharacterController::}{teleport}
    function instead:
    \snippet charactercontroller/main.qml position

    The motion of the character is defined by setting the \l {CharacterController::}{movement}
    property to a velocity. The character will then try to move with that velocity, relative to the
    forward vector. The character may end up moving at a different speed, since it may be blocked
    by a wall, or be in free fall. Mouse/keyboard input comes from the \c wasd object, which is a
    stripped-down version of \l WasdController.

    The two rotational axes are handled differently, in order to follow common practice for WASD movement
    when walking on the ground:
    \list
    \li Vertical rotation changes the view direction, but does \e not make the character fly up
    into the air or dig down into the ground.
    \li Horizontal rotation changes the forward direction of the character. (This is an exeption to
    the rule that transformations should not be changed when the physics simulation is running: It
    is safe to change the rotation of the character controller, since that doesn't change the state
    of the physics engine: it only changes the interpretation of the
    \l {CharacterController::}{movement} vector.)
    \endlist
