Camera
is a standalone, purely mathematical class for doing camera-related computations.
Given input data such as location, orientation (direction, left, up), and viewport settings, it can compute data necessary to render objects with the graphics library. Two matrices are generated, the view matrix transforms objects from world space into eye space, while the projection matrix transforms objects from eye space into clip space.
Another purpose of the camera class is to do frustum culling operations, defined by six planes which define a 3D frustum shape, it is possible to test if an object bounded by a mathematically defined volume is inside the camera frustum, and thus to avoid rendering objects that are outside the frustum
