LIDAR Camera 2 - fast, lightweight and compact

This single monitor LIDAR solution is an improved version of my previous design:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2983982391

It's lightweight, easy to install and small enough to be used on every helicopter, ship, etc.
It can be used to monitor the deepest sea floor in up to 4000m depth, or take images of ground locations from the sky in every weather condition.

It's optimized so it can be effectively used even on a 1x1 monitor in a crammed cockpit.

A low res scan only takes ~1 second and is always scaled up to fullscreen.

Features:
- single monitor solution, no external buttons needed
- Tilt compensation so the laser always points down (optional)
- Continous scanning
- faster, fullscreen images by interpolating smaller sample sizes
- zoom and enhance into every part of the image

How to install:
- load the prebuilt setup into your creation using the selection tool in the editor
- move the parts whereever you want
- if you don't want tilt compensation, delete the physics sensor
- done!

How to use:

Start scan:
1. Press the "S" button on the top right to start scanning. The progress is displayed as a progress bar on the top.
2. Adjust the image resolution by pressing the number on the bottom right. It displays the estimated time to complete a scan in seconds. The largest time is always a full screen scan, which is not recommended for large screens.

Zoom control:
1. When your image is ready and displayed, you can pick data points by pressing on the part of the image.
2. After selecting an interesting location, a "+" appears on the right. Press the "+" to zoom into the selected part of the picture
3. To unselect a point, simply press somewhere on the lower bar where the data is displayed.
4. Zoom out by pressing "-" which only appears when no data is selected.
5. Press "R" to reset the camera position
