/// Cardboard triggers, and 'BaseInputModule' class state changes.
///
/// To have the methods called, an instance of this (implemented) class must be
/// registered with the **GazeInputModule** script on 'OnEnable' by assigning
/// itself to the **GazeInputModule.cardboardPointer** static member variable.
/// A registered instance should also un-register itself at 'OnDisable' calls
/// by setting the **GazeInputModule.cardboardPointer** static member variable
/// to null.
///
/// This class is expected to be inherited by pointers responding to the user's
/// looking at objects in the scene by the movement of their head. For example,
/// see the CardboardReticle class.
