3Dconnexion 3D Mice Now Supported By Leading Panoramic Image Viewers – Microsoft® Research's HD View and Phoscode DevalVR
Fremont, Calif. - September 30, 2008 — 3Dconnexion's 3D mice are now supported by two leading panoramic image viewers – Microsoft Research's HD View and Phoscode DevalVR, providing serious enthusiasts and working photography professionals a more immersive experience in both applications. 3Dconnexion's 3D mice enhance the level of interactivity with high-resolution panoramic digital images and content and accelerate the digital image review process by allowing users to efficiently pan and zoom images. In addition, Phoscode DevalVR users can intuitively navigate and fly through 3D topographical maps, seamlessly viewing geographic information.
By gently lifting, pressing and turning the 3D mouse controller, people can easily control image views and more naturally pan and zoom panoramic images to reveal photographic details in Microsoft Research's HD View and Phoscode DevalVR. Unlike mice confined to motion on one flat plane, 3Dconnexion's 3D mice enable people to move in all three dimensions simultaneously, using six degrees of freedom.
