About the Spaceball Spaceball 3D motion controllers allow users to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate 3D models as they build, modify and inspect their designs or animations -- right within their 3D application. With six-degrees-of-freedom motion control, users simply push, pull or twist the Spaceball's PowerSensor ball for smooth and dynamic X, Y, and Z axis translations and rotations. By providing a natural and intuitive method for moving and viewing 3D designs, users are able to focus their concentration on the model -- not on the method required to move the model. Benefits of using a Spaceball include simplified movement of large assemblies, improved design comprehension, increased productivity, earlier detection of errors and customizable software. These benefits result in reduced tooling costs, improved product reliability, greater opportunity for experimentation, and faster time to market.
