This looks nice, but I doubt that it's really much more productive than the usual 3D mice (SpaceMouse) setup that almost every CAD shop uses. Just like touchscreens are hardly superior to ordinary mice, when you can afford to lug the latter about. And much more prone to gorilla arm syndrome. So for a desk, this is probably no big win. Maybe for some kind of highly integrated CAVE setup, where you'd be wandering about.
- johnyzee 13y agoWhat if this technology simply let you rotate, pan, zoom, etc. using your other hand, which would otherwise be unused? I don't do 3D modelling so I'm not sure if this would actually be an improvement, but getting the other hand into play seems like a good jump from regular one-handed mouse-intensive work.
- Tloewald 13y agoThat's what a space navigator does, and I find it pretty useless. The whole thing looks pretty lame to me. Essentially Apple's multitouch conventions partially translated to motion tracking.
