Hi,  
Is there a plugin for camera-centric navigation in ParaView?  
The default PV camera controls seem to have been designed for looking at objects, i.e. you can pan and rotate around the center of the object from afar. However for exploration of large scale point clouds I often want to position camera “inside” the point cloud and move it in the “first person view” style.

I’m afraid not, although this should not be a too complex endeavour.
