Intelligent motion controller speeds through CAD
3DConnexion has set up a programme which will allow users to trade-in their existing 3DConnexion motion controller for a SpacePilot, the company's first intelligent motion controller.
"As the notebook market continues to grow and more and more people carry their laptops with them, there is a greater need for advanced mobile input devices", says Dieter Neujahr, President of 3Dconnexion.
"This new 3D mouse encompasses a sophisticated design to address the need for portability in many environments, without sacrificing the intuitive 3D navigation and improved design experience our customers have come to expect from 3Dconnexion's product line".
The SpaceNavigator for Notebooks offers the same benefits as the original SpaceNavigator, including effortless movement and control within 3D workspaces, but also includes a new cap design for more immersive and natural interactions within 3D applications.
Designed to withstand the wear and tear of travel, the SpaceNavigator for Notebooks comes with a convenient travel case for easy transport.
Its small footprint makes the device easy to use at home, work, or at remote locations.
Unlike traditional mice, which are confined to motion on a flat plane, 3Dconnexion's 3D mice allow effortless movement and control within 3D workspaces.
Gently lift, press and turn the control cap to fly through 3D space while simultaneously zooming and rotating the view with fluid and highly intuitive control.
An increase in pressure accelerates motion, while a decrease in pressure slows motion for precise micro-adjustments.
3Dconnexion provides advanced and affordable 3D mice that are supported by applications including Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended and Acrobat 3D, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, 3ds Max and Maya, Blender, Catia, Google Earth and SketchUp, Microsoft Virtual Earth, NX, Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks and many other CAD, DCC, AEC and GIS applications.
The SpaceNavigator for Notebooks is supported by all major operating systems, including Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Macintosh OS X 10.4.6 or later and Linux (Redhat Enterprise Linux WS 3, SuSE 9.0 or later).
The SpaceNavigator for Notebooks is backed by a two-year limited hardware warranty.
