Cool and fun to explore
From 3 comments
This is fun, made me think of the late 90s and the weird fun shit everyone was up to. Good luck, weirdos.

cblconfederate on HNVery cool! I only figured out WASD movement on my second load of the page. Mouse-only mode would benefit greatly from an invert-axis button imho.

Street View
From 2 comments
Mouse dragging is perfectly fine. Drag to the left to see what’s on the left. It’s things like street view that are counterintuitive.
slooonz on HNIt's different using the cases: Moving the mouse without dragging: moving my head, since there is no expectation that i am interacting with the world Dragging the mouse: moving…
