Open3d: How to you position camera and look at certain location in Open3D?

How do you position the camera in the scene and point it towards a specific location? Is this possible in Open3D?

To set the initial viewing position of a scene do the following:

1. Run the visualizer and position the model using mouse/keyboard.
2. Once you are happy with this press the 'p' key. This will create a ScreenCamera_xxxx.json file which contains the relevant information.
3. Then add this to your code:

ctr = vis.get_view_control()
parameters = o3d.io.read_pinhole_camera_parameters("ScreenCamera_xxxx.json")
ctr.convert_from_pinhole_camera_parameters(parameters)
