/**
 * <code>Camera</code> is a standalone, purely mathematical class for doing
 * camera-related computations.
 *
 * <p>
 * Given input data such as location, orientation (direction, left, up),
 * and viewport settings, it can compute data necessary to render objects
 * with the graphics library. Two matrices are generated, the view matrix
 * transforms objects from world space into eye space, while the projection
 * matrix transforms objects from eye space into clip space.
 * </p>
 * <p>Another purpose of the camera class is to do frustum culling operations,
 * defined by six planes which define a 3D frustum shape, it is possible to
 * test if an object bounded by a mathematically defined volume is inside
 * the camera frustum, and thus to avoid rendering objects that are outside
 * the frustum
