Who already once a 3D-programma has uses, know them to me that navigate through three dimensions with an usual mouse not simple is itself to them. he. The SpaceNavigator offers outcome.

The SpaceNavigator was developed by 3Dconnexion, a daughter enterprise of Logitech. The device consists of a large round controller that on a sturdy steel foot stands. Through the controller in to push, zooms must pull you in, while you at the controller out to zoom. Through the controller to for, behind, left or right to push, moves you in the direction of the compass point.

An obvious target group for the SpaceNavigator is everybody that with classic 3D-applications as AutoCAD works. But the SpaceNavigator can uses become also in combination with Google Earth. It lasts sit just for the movements in our fingers, but after a few minutes, we fly literally about the satellite image of this amusing program.

We try the device also from with Google SketchUp, but in that is not recognized would must it - what normal well. The SpaceNavigator works under Windows XP.
