The following was purposed in the new ideas topic.
“I propose adding the ability to "detach" the camera from the avatar and "place" it in an object or fixed location. This way, no matter how you as your avatar move about and adjust items your camera stays put."
Is there any way to control your view through scripts?

Yes, you can control the camera, but only while an av is sitting on a scripted object. See llSetCameraAtOffset() and llSetCameraEyeOffset in http://badgeometry.com/wiki.

hmmm...
Are they locked? Once a user sits down and the camera is adjusted for them, can the user move them? |

According to the doc, yes, the av can move the camera. If you press Esc, it goes back to where you set it w/ these functions.

Note that sadly, the camera is set when the avatar sits down, and there's no way to change the way it's pointed after that.
What I mean is, if you call one of the set camera functions while an avatar is sitting on an object, the camera will *not* move. But if the avatar stands up and sits down again, the camera will be in the new orientation. _____________________

I just want to work on some multi-person games that require keeping things private from other players. Impossible to do with the current camera system.
If I could sit the person in a chair and force their gaze on their own cards, and the table, then it would be possible.  |
