Anchor

The Anchor scene element is a useful object for 'holding' a desired position and orientation, which can then be
accessed and used at a later time in the browsing experience. An Anchor has no geometric volume, which places it's
pivot point at the exact origin. This is useful for using an anchor to specify an axis of rotation. A series of numbered
Anchors is useful for designating points along a path for use in such things as a guided tour, or to load and place an
array of objects in pre-determined positions.
