In this video we start building a first person controller for a Godot 4 VR/XR game.
This approach is different from my earlier approaches in Godot 3 as we're building
our XR rig on top of a CharacterBody3D node.

In part 1 we write the code that makes our character body node follow the physical
movements of the player.

Timecodes:
00:00 Introduction
01:55 Basic CharacterBody3D setup
03:25 Physical movement script
05:40 First demonstration
05:50 Matching player rotation
07:05 Adding an obstacle
07:25 Second demonstration
07:45 Adding fade logic
11:50 Final demonstration
