affordable SpaceNavigator


Recommended Posts

sounds interesting, but have you ever tried it by yourself? i mean is it really that much better than a usual doom-like navigation?

i am thinking of real-time presentations in public and i am wondering if this tool is really intuitive enough so that everyone can use it easily.

I watched Mason Thrall from Google/Sketchup use one the other night to fly around a Google Earth model. It was very impressive and gave the navigation a more natural look, like a helicopter flying around instead of "click, zoom, move." He let me "fly" for a while and I found it to be very easy to use. The control was very sensitive, but it was easy to dial it back. I asked Mason if he ever tried modeling with it, and he said that he'd tried to but that it didn't work out well. Maybe with some practice you could model with it. But, as a presentation tool it was very slick.
