Orbita Mouse
-
Hi Guys,
I'm always on the look out for a better computer input device! I've tried quite a few but still rely on the mouse for 99% of my input.
I came across the Orbita Mouse http://www.orbitamouse.com/ and found it interesting. Here is a link showing it in action with Google Earth http://www.orbitamouse.com/video_gallery.php?vid=wEbWV_OwHWA
I read that they are working on plugins for various 3D programs and I made an inquiry. The following was the response,
%(#000080)[*'We are currently working on a plugin to integrate a 3D Orbit control as well, using the rotation of the mouse to spin the scene in the 'Z' axis when the tool is selected as well as normal Orbit control.
Another interesting use in Sketchup is with the SketchyPhysics plugin. By using the Orbita's supplied software to map it as 'multi-axis controller' it can be used to directly control a model in
SketchyPhysics, using the Game Pad interface.We are planning to create some examples around this in the future.'*]
It might be worth keeping an eye on the Orbita Mouse
