SpaceExplorer

SpaceExplorer is the 3D mouse of choice for design professionals who demand performance, comfort and style. QuickView Navigation technology extends the power of the patented 3Dconnexion 6-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) sensor to deliver an advanced 3D navigation experience, while two Intelligent Function Keys detect the active application, providing fingertip access to relevant application commands.

The SpaceExplorer is $299.  Click here to buy!

SpaceExplorer is used together with a traditional mouse. One hand engages SpaceExplorer to position the model and access important application commands while your other hand simultaneously uses the traditional mouse to edit the model or select menu items. This balanced and cooperative work style results in productivity gains of more than 20% and up to 50% fewer mouse clicks for a more comfortable working experience and reduced risk of RSI.

Extend the power of the controller cap by providing one-touch access to four standard views enabling you to instantly view models from the top, front, left and right for improved error detection, design review and design presentation.

During the course of developing 3D models, designers may want to personalize how the controller cap works by adjusting the speed or restricting navigation to certain axis. For example, when creating 2D sketches of 3D profiles, it is useful to be able to pan and zoom but not rotate the view.

By turning rotation off, users can focus on smooth, simultaneous pan-and-zoom navigation only. This is ideal for work modes such as sketching or for quickly inspecting standard views of your model.

Adjusting the SpaceExplorer navigation speed, changes the amount of force or torque that needs to be applied to the controller to move a model or environment. Lower the speed for detailed, close-up work and increase the speed for design reviews and presentations.
