     * yaw, followed by pitch, and finally by roll.
     *
     * The coordinate system matches the one defined in OpenGL, where the
     * forward vector (z) is coming out of screen, and it is equivalent to
     * a rotation matrix of R = r_y(yaw) * r_x(pitch) * r_z(roll).
     *
     * A positive yaw rotates the portion of the sphere in front of the viewer
     * toward their right. A positive pitch rotates the portion of the sphere
     * in front of the viewer upwards. A positive roll tilts the portion of
     * the sphere in front of the viewer to the viewer's right.
