Using your left hand on the keyboard *is* two handed control, whichever way you look at it it’s about making the most of both hands to increase input data rate.

I fully understood everything you wrote, and you’re now contradicting yourself. I’d be very interested to hear from wrong.

I believe the 3DConnexion devices work optically?Īnyone (Sebastian or others?) got any good ideas for how to make a cheap 4-axis (2 axis pan, zoom and planar rotate) USB controller? I’m sure it’s dead easy with the hardware available these days? I tried to build something similar to the Magellan/LogiCAD/3DConnexion devices a few years ago, but was using strain gauges, and couldn’t get them to work stably due to thermal drift, and electronics isn’t my area (I’m a Mech Eng). I don’t really see why the cheaper (£100) SpaceNavigator has to be designed without buttons, other than for marketing reasons.

Spork – I agree – the more expensive Spacemouse / Spaceballs have a plethora of configurable buttons that are essential in any software for professional use. Sure, you’re used to doing something one way, so changing to a different way is always going to be slower at first, but that’s like saying walking is faster than riding a bike, because you keep falling off the bike in the beginning.įor the rest of us that understand that two handed direct manipulation is much quicker, and less error prone than any other method once you get up to speed, I’d like to see more of this kind of thing – how about doing the same for freehand drawing apps like painter or sketchbook pro, but also with the option of page rotation in addition to zoom and pan, to capture smooth arm actions?
