I would like to obtain some information on 3 coordinate (3D) input devices
that I can hook up to my Sun4 to use along with my StereoGraphics Corporation
"CrystalEyes".
I am particularly interested in:
- 3D input devices which can be used as pointer devices (mice)
eg: A standard 3 button mouse with a Z coordinate thumb wheel.
- documentation on detailed interfacing information and device usage
- Vendor/Supplier information (local Distributors) along with any price
information available
- if free loaners are available or if trials/demos can be arranged
- if the SpaceBall by Spatial Systems can be used as a mouse pointer
device as well as for 3D input
- any detailed articles/papers discussing various 3D input devices
- 3D test/demo programs which could receive input from different 3D
input devices
I am NOT really interested the glove technologies such as:
- The DataGlove by VPL Research
- The PowerGlove by Nintendo
Please send me any helpful information directly via e-mail or send it to
me at the address below. If I get a large number of responses I will
post a summary of the information obtained.
Thanks, Alastair Geis
