| 3Dconnexion Offers 3D Input Device SDK 3Dconnexion has announced a software developers kit (SDK) for programming motion-control drivers for use with custom modeling and animation code packages and level editors used in game development. The 3Dconnexion SDK is an easy-to-use toolkit providing all the resources needed to add full 6DOF navigation and other enhanced motion-controller functions, allowing 3Dconnexion's award-winning SpacePilot and SpaceTraveler devices to support custom authoring packages, level editors, and modeling systems. The kit includes: - 3DxWare libraries - Source code examples - Demos - Tips and techniques - Examples of building and using libraries and demos A Game Developer magazine Front Line Award finalist for three consecutive years, 3Dconnexion devices provide full, simultaneous six-axis movement in any and all directions. A 3Dconnexion motion controller can add value to every aspect of a developer's project, used in conjunction with mouse and keyboard to enable an intuitive, streamlined workflow. Applying light pressure to the controller translates into dynamic movement: Users can pan, zoom, and rotate with the controller in one hand, while they simultaneously create and edit with mouse in the other. The 3Dconnexion SDK is free and available immediately for download, along with the 3Dconnexion software suite, at www.3dconnexion.com/support/ write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
