3Dconnexion's line of 3D navigation devices are now supported by the Microsoft Virtual Earth platform, enabling people to fly through the Live Search Maps 3D world in a manner not possible with a mouse and keyboard alone.
With 3Dconnexion's SpaceNavigator device, geo-browsing enthusiasts can take advantage of the navigation control popular with 3D artists and CAD professionals.
3Dconnexion's devices significantly enhance the Live Search Maps experience. When navigating 3D worlds with a mouse and keyboard alone, people must repeatedly stop to switch tools or toggle keyboard shortcuts to change directions.
Using a 3D connection device, people can fly seamlessly through the visually rich 3D world of Live Search Maps to learn, discover and explore by gently manipulating a controller cap.
The Space Navigator device is a companion to the mouse and is held in the alternate hand. Users apply very slight movements to the device's controller cap to simultaneously pan, zoom, and rotate 3D objects.
Within 3D mode in Live Search Maps, customers can use a 3Dconnexion device to navigate through immersive 3D environments within a browser interface.
