3D mouse - connexion
Hi, the Chimera documentation indicates that the 3D mouse from Connexion (Space navigator) is supported. I have just asked the company, but they didn't know anything about Chimera. I am wondering, whether you have some good experience using it, or whether you have an alternative mouse model that would work nicely together with Chimera.

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 ----- Elaine C.

Hi Thomas, We have a TechNote evaluating the space navigator. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/Outreach/technotes/spacenavigator.html The basic conclusion is that it has some utility but that having a third input device beyond the keyboard and mouse and only 2 hands is irksome.
