For the second "problem" I found a posible solution:

if key == 'z': #forward
	origin.setPosition(
		(origin.getPosition()[0]+(math.sin(vizmat.DEG_TO_RAD*origin.getEuler()[0])*0.1)),
		(origin.getPosition()[1]),
		(origin.getPosition()[2]+(math.cos(vizmat.DEG_TO_RAD*origin.getEuler()[0])*0.1))
	)
if key == 'b': #backwards
	origin.setPosition(
		(origin.getPosition()[0]-(math.sin(vizmat.DEG_TO_RAD*origin.getEuler()[0])*0.1)),
		(origin.getPosition()[1]),
		(origin.getPosition()[2]-(math.cos(vizmat.DEG_TO_RAD*origin.getEuler()[0])*0.1))
	)

and so on

Do you know a better way?

You can use the viztracker.Keyboard6DOF() object to setup keyboard navigation and link it to the CaveView object. Here is sample code:

import viztracker
keyTracker = viztracker.Keyboard6DOF()
viz.link(keyTracker, origin)

The Keyboard6DOF object uses the WASD keys by default for navigation. You can customize the keys by passing the following optional keyword arguments to the constructor:

forward - key for moving forward
backward - key for moving backward
right - key for strafing right
left - key for strafing left
turnRight - key for rotating right
turnLeft - key for rotating left

For example, if you wanted to use the arrow keys for moving around you would use the following code to create the keyboard tracker object:

keyTracker = viztracker.Keyboard6DOF(forward=viz.KEY_UP,backward=viz.KEY_DOWN,left=viz.KEY_LEFT,right=viz.KEY_RIGHT)
