Create A Three.JS Camera That Follows A Mouse Over Time

A 3D website camera can feel more responsive and natural when it follows your mouse, easing over time, without needing to click and drag. Together we can implement a solution, using Three.JS, to change the camera's pitch and yaw rotations, with easing, over time!

Thank you so much. Dat's what I've searched for a long time.

You may want to also add camera.rotation.order = 'YXZ'
You won't be noticing it with the tiny values that you are using, but when you are rotating in the standard order of 'XYZ', you will be rotating the X first, but when you rotate by Y next, you are rotating the camera by the 'world y'. So if your camera happened to be rotated 90° the 'world y' would actually be the 'camera z'.
So rather than looking up or down, you would start to do a roll and end up upside down eventually.

It's taken me a few days (on again-off again) to try and work out it was just as simple as rotation order to fix it..
Hope this helps anyone else that comes across this problem also..

Could you solve a doubt of mine? How would you go about implementing a simple third person pov camera. Like an example scenario would be a small sphere moving along some line on some platform, how would you implement a simple button that switches from the general camera view to a third person pov camera which follows this moving sphere and back? Any help or guides would be greatly appreciated
