Suggestion: Future support for 6DOF devices
Posted: 03.11.2003, 23:16
Hi, I thought that adding support for 6DOF devices like SpaceMouse, would be of a great benefit for a true 3D application like Celestia.
6DOF = 6 Degrees Of Freedom, that means that movement in space, goes along X,Y,Z axis + rotation around these (A,B,C) simultaniously, like moving objects in real world. I have worked with these 6DOF devices as a CAD-consultant for some years and this is out of comparison with use a traditional mouse, which only have 2 DOF (X,Y axis movement)
