Spaceball
4000 FLX 3D
Motion Controller/Input Device
Labtec
Labtec,
Vancouver, WA, has introduced the Spaceball 4000 FLX 3D motion controller/input
device that minimizes arm and wrist stress, and features a new, adjustable
wrist pad for right- or left-hand use. The device allows users to simultaneously
pan, zoom, and rotate 3D models as they build, modify, and inspect their
3D designs within their 3D applications. With six-degrees-of-freedom
(6D) motion control, users push, pull, or twist the PowerSensor ball
for X, Y, and Z axis translations and rotations. A specially coated
surface allows flexibility for finger and thumb placement on the ball
surface; a ridge design around the ball guides fingers into the optimum
position. The placement of 12 buttons -- three on the right and nine
on the left -- offers access to 22 customized functions, and eliminates
the need to reach over the sensing mechanism. The device is driven by
the SpaceWare 99 software driver that is available for UNIX and Windows
NT/95/98 environments.
