The SpaceExplorer is a 3D navigation device that features powerful navigation control, a convenient key console and advanced ergonomic design The SpaceExplorer, suggested retail price GBP 199 excluding VAT, provides responsive control of 3D objects and environments without the repeated steps required to navigate with a keyboard and mouse

The SpaceExplorer comes with 3DxSoftware, which offers new support for Autodesk Design Review, Autodesk DWF Viewer, Google Earth and Google SketchUp.

The SpaceExplorer is intended to replace 3Dconnexion's SpaceBall and SpaceMouse devices, which are to be discontinued as of 31st December 2006, although support for both products will continue until the end of 2009.

"The SpaceExplorer navigation device, with its full feature set and at such an attractive price, was designed as an ideal replacement for SpaceBall users", says Rory Dooley, President 3Dconnexion.

"The SpaceExplorer team focused on ergonomic design and achieved a new level of comfort and usability for 3D navigation devices".

The SpaceExplorer navigation device uses six optical sensors to continuously communicate multiple threads of navigation data to 3D applications.

Users command six-degrees of freedom with the controller cap to manipulate 3D objects and navigate three-dimensional environments.

Its ergonomic design allows it to be used by either hand and features 15 preconfigured function keys within comfortable reach of the controller cap.

The 3Dconnexion SpaceExplorer navigation device is targeted at design professionals who are looking for high-powered 3D navigation at an affordable price.
