3Dconnexion and Google Team Up For 3D Navigation
3Dconnexion introduced the SpaceNavigator ($60), a three-dimensional navigation device that offers 3D designers and enthusiasts intuitive and powerful 3D navigation control. Compatible with Google Earth and Google SketchUp, as well as with today’s most popular 3D design applications, the SpaceNavigator gives people the ability to move naturally and fluidly in 3D environments -- without making repetitive mouse movements or having to type multiple keyboard commands. Logitech and Google worked together to develop native support for the SpaceNavigator with Google Earth.
The SpaceNavigator has six optical sensors that continuously communicate multiple threads of navigation data to 3D applications. This technology enables people to fly through three-dimensional worlds without stopping to use the keyboard or mouse to change directions.
