© 2002—3Dconnexion 3D Controller Tutorial Pro/ENGINEER Introduction to 3D Controllers and their use
2
© 2002—3Dconnexion The 3D Controller translates your sense of touch into dynamic movement of graphic objects in 3D space. Allows INTUITIVE, true 3D-motion control in up to 6 degrees of freedom simultaneously. Pan, Zoom and Rotate in one hand. Software driver for enhanced / added functionality What is a 3D Motion Controller?
3
© 2002—3Dconnexion Two Handed Power 50 movements by Mouse 50 movements by Mouse Movements by Mouse Fewer mouse movements Simultaneous navigation by 3D Controller Increased Productivity 15-30% Faster Designs Reduced Discomfort 50% Less Mouse Movement
4
© 2002—3Dconnexion Less Time. Less Discomfort. 10 - 30% Less Time 25 - 50% Less Mouse Movement Equals Less Discomfort
5
© 2002—3Dconnexion The Two Handed Approach - Normal, Natural and Fast Drawing Cutting POSITIONING HAND ACTION HAND
6
© 2002—3Dconnexion Press down on the ball/cap: object goes down -Y Pull up: object goes up +Y Push right: object goes right +X Push left: object goes left -X Push away from you: object zooms down -Z Pull towards you: objects zooms up +Z It’s like holding your part in your hand!
7
© 2002—3Dconnexion 3D Motion Controller Features 6 degrees of freedom Programmable buttons allow shortcuts to frequent functions 100+ applications supported - CAD/CAM/CAE applications - Industrial design applications - Office suites, email, browsers Variations in size, shape, feel, application support, # of buttons
8
© 2002—3Dconnexion Designed to avoid fatigue of hand Intuitive and precise man-machine interface Slight pressure onto cap sufficient to generate small and precise movements Fingertip operation to support higher sensitivity and bandwidth Comfort & Functionality
9
© 2002—3Dconnexion 3DxWare; Button Mapping Panel Pre defined button mappings for Pro/ENGINEER Use Drag and Drop to redefine
10
© 2002—3Dconnexion 3DxWare; Sensitivity & Filters Panel Easily adjust your sensitivity settings or any filter for maximum comfort
11
© 2002—3Dconnexion Better knowledge of models Better error detection Better design quality Removes up to 50% of mouse clicks / large mouse movements off dominant hand/arm (reduce risk of RSS) More productive 3D Controller Benefits
12
© 2002—3Dconnexion 2D Applications Support for a variety of 2D graphics and productivity applications! - Adobe Photoshop Acrobat InDesign - Microsoft Office: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, Project - Plus many others available with macro capabilities!
