[Chimera-users] 3D mouse - connexion

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Thomas,
We have a Space Navigator and have been using it (well, mostly Tom  
Goddard has been using it, but the rest of us have tried it).  There  
is a video of Tom using this device -- see the bottom section of this  
page:
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/features.html>

and our group has tried some other things such as head tracking and  
force feedback, see
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/Outreach/technotes/index.html>

Best,
Elaine
