Chapter 555: Gyroscope

Core Idea

A special type of 3D object that takes a position from the scene graph hierarchy but uses its local rotation as world rotation. It works like real-world gyroscope - you can move it around using hierarchy while its orientation stays fixed with respect to the world.
