Foil 119 Treatment of Multiple Sensors

From VRML 2 Basic Concepts and Definitions CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS -- Spring Semester 97. by Zeynep Ozdemir(Geoffrey C. Fox)
When multiple sensor nodes are siblings in the same group, they all simultaneously sense viewer actions on the same group of shapes.
For instance, it is possible to use a TouchSensor node to detect when the viewer's cursor has moved over a shape, and a PlaneSensor node to enable the viewer to drag the shape around.
When multiple sensors are in different groups, and those groups are nested within each other, then the sensor that is in the innermost nested group overrides those in outer groups.
