© 2002—3Dconnexion 3D Controller Tutorial Pro/ENGINEER Introduction to 3D Controllers and their use

© 2002—3Dconnexion  The 3D Controller translates your sense of touch into dynamic movement of graphic objects in 3D space.  Allows INTUITIVE, true 3D-motion control in up to 6 degrees of freedom simultaneously.  Pan, Zoom and Rotate in one hand.  Software driver for enhanced / added functionality What is a 3D Motion Controller?

© 2002—3Dconnexion Two Handed Power 50 movements by Mouse 50 movements by Mouse Movements by Mouse Fewer mouse movements Simultaneous navigation by 3D Controller Increased Productivity 15-30% Faster Designs Reduced Discomfort 50% Less Mouse Movement

© 2002—3Dconnexion Less Time. Less Discomfort % Less Time % Less Mouse Movement Equals Less Discomfort
