Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

This allows an application to capture the mouse and receive input directly instead of the mouse moving the cursor. See MDN for usage details: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/API/Pointer_Lock_API.

2. Users & use cases

You activate a game full screen and want your mouse to control movement without it moving the cursor around. This is the mode for first person shooters like Doom/Quake/Other.
