SpaceExplorer

Virtalis often specifies SpaceExplorer for use on its fixed ActiveWall installs. It is used together with a traditional mouse. One hand engages SpaceExplorer to position the model and access important application commands while the other hand simultaneously uses the traditional mouse to edit the model or select menu items. 3D Connexions claim that the SpaceExplorer engenders a balanced and co-operative work style resulting 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.

SpaceNavigator

SpaceNavigator is used with a traditional mouse and Virtalis frequently specifies it as a peripheral within its ActiveMove systems. The way it works is: one hand engages SpaceNavigator to position the model or navigate the environment, while the other hand simultaneously uses the traditional mouse to select, create or edit. It promotes a two handed work style that allows you click a lot less and accomplish a lot more. At the heart of all 3Dconnexion’s family of 3D mice is the Controller Cap. This can be gently pushed, pulled, twisted or tilted to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate models or camera views. After a surprisingly short time, the SpaceNavigator becomes a virtual extention of you!

SpacePilot Pro

3Dconnexion bills this mouse as “the ultimate professional 3D mouse“. The key to SpacePilot PRO's smooth and intuitive 3D navigation is the patented, six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) sensor. With four times the precision of previous sensors, it can detect input as small as 4 micrometers (that's about 1/25 of a human hair!).
