Discussion for future improvements

Avatars need to be controllable with the mouse. Up down left right. An avatar now has to take two steps backward, then two forward just to go one step left or right. and sightseeing requires avatars to completely stop before looking to the left or right. mouselook is just to shaky to spend much time in. and build mode already interrupts movement.
