One of the aims of mixed reality is to blend the real world with the virtual. As physical creatures, we are constantly aware of our physical surroundings. We can tap into this awareness by using the ORBIT action, which causes an object to circle around another object in the scene (including the user). In this case, I wanted to create an airplane that would constantly circle around the user (aka the camera.) This will ensure that the user can read the sign and will also create a sense of authenticity and immersion.
