Class VirtualJoysticksCamera

This represents a free type of camera. It can be useful in First Person Shooter game for instance. It is identical to the Free Camera and simply adds by default a virtual joystick. Virtual Joysticks are on-screen 2D graphics that are used to control the camera or other scene items.
