I have an object in which I want to press E on the object and then the first person camera will switch to the objects camera so that you can drag around the object to have a look at it in full 360 and be able to look at it from all angles, is this possible?

Camera orbiting has been done too many times:

For the extra control over the camera, your character can carry a spare camera actor (as a child actor - so the *Set View Target with Blend* does not pick it up). When interacting, you place the child actor at the target's position, *Set View Target with Blend* and do the orbiting. When finished, Set View back to the player.

Object interaction is another story altogether, there’s are countless tutorials in YT. At the fundamental level:

  • onKey Press, line trace from the camera along it’s forward vector until you hit an interactive object
  • do the camera switcheroo magic
  • once done, Flip Flop with the same onKey Press to revert cameras
