End User Description: This controller monitors the posture of the lifeform entity that it is mounted on, and provides an eyepoint position appropriate to the current posture of the output port.
For example, a crawling entity will have its eyepoint low, and forward in comparison to the same entity when standing. It is designed to be connected to a DtObjectSensor or derived type of sensor.
