Description

Desired behavior

Currently, to set a camera property, e.g. it's pose, the user has to specify the MinimalScene plugin and set the value there. But this in turn disables all default plugins, so the user is forced to specify all the default plugins. It would be nice if the user can just set these properties in <gui><camera> and not have to specify any plugin.

Alternatives considered

none

Implementation suggestion

If the properties in <gui><camera> conflict with those manually set by the user in MinimalScene, the ones in <gui><camera> should be used.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how camera properties are currently set via MinimalScene plugin and how to extend <gui><camera> to accept those properties directly, handling conflicts with MinimalScene.
