🎉 New feature

Summary

I would like to thank NXP for their support in enabling this work.

Depends on:

This adds a new /gui/track topic using the CameraTrack message to control multiple types of tracking and associated pgain(s), target(s) and offset(s). Furthermore it publishes a tracking camera status CameraTrack message on /gui/currently_tracked

This also adds an 3 unique follow modes and a tracking mode all able to be set from either the /gui/track topic or more ideally from the user gui.

The 3 follow modes are in a submenu under the right click top level menu Follow Options > and are:

  • Follow - Traditional follow mode where camera follows and tracks the same target.
    follow

  • Free Look - Enables a user to follow a target while still using an input device (IE mouse) to look around.
    follow_free_look

  • Look At - Only enabled after already selecting a primary object to follow, this allows a user to track a unique secondary target while following the primary target.
    follow_look_at

The other right click top level menu item added is Track, where the gui camera can be moved anywhere in the simulator but will always track the selected object.
track

These all respect using the escape key to stop any form of tracking.

Test it

oh we still need osrf/homebrew-simulation#2656. The windows problem with gz-math3 is known but unrelated to this PR

@j-rivero Do you know if the homebrew/windows CI ever got resolved? I'll be very elated to get this merged ASAP so I can also target upstream 🥳.
