This bench stores multiple camera positions&rotations and an up to 1024 characters long description for each POV (PointOfView).

The values for position&rotation are fetched and stored directly from the owners' camera when they hit "arrow up" key on their keyboard while sitting on the bench.

After the setup, every sitter on the bench can step through the POVs by hitting PgUp / PgDown on their keyboard. Their camera moves immediately to the stored position and the linked description is displayed in the chat (only visible for them!).
Each sitter can select a different POV. All sitters can still move their cam by using the common technique of their viewers.
The ESC button then brings their camera back to the stored position of the currently viewed POV.

The owner and their managers have 2 other ways to move the cameras of the current sitters:
1) they (sitting not required) can force the sitter's cameras to go to a selected number of the stored POVs by a voice command
2) they can be the cameraman: The cameras of all sitters are then synchronized with the cameraman's view.

This product can be used in many ways - some examples:
- Newbies (and sometimes not only they) usually have issues with moving their cam. Give them the possibility to explore your fantastic region by simply sitting on the bench
- Sport events: offer different POVs for the spectators that help them to follow the game easily
- Celebratory events like weddings or christenings: offer POVs for the best snapshots
- Educational events: offer POVs for the panel (prim media) and different rezzed examples

With voice commands the owner can edit the POVs (add, del, move, change description).
Or they can export the data into a notecard (copy&paste from chat), easily change data there and then import it back to the bench.

Technical data:
- configurable max. numbers of sitters (up to 50)
When changing the size by voice command, the bench stretches/shrinks automatically and rezzes and links an inivisble pillow for each seat.
