3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator Now Supported By ESRI Applications PDF Print E-mail

3D Mouse Extends Geographic Approach in ArcGIS Desktop

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Sept 24, 2007 – 3Dconnexion, a Logitech company, today announced its SpaceNavigator™ 3D mouse is now supported by the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop products. Using the SpaceNavigator device, geographic information system (GIS) professionals can now simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate camera views to better visualize geographic information when navigating 3D maps and models. The freedom of navigation provided by the SpaceNavigator 3D mouse enhances map and spatial analysis, collapsing the time between viewing and understanding.

 The integration of 3D data in GIS applications has grown, changing how GIS users interact with geographic information. Advanced 3D navigation allows ESRI users to explore data-rich environments in a way that cannot be achieved with a mouse and keyboard alone. With the SpaceNavigator 3D mouse, users apply very slight movements to the device’s controller cap to seamlessly fly through 3D terrain.

 “The highly interactive SpaceNavigator 3D mouse provides an excellent way to navigate the vast quantities of geographic information our GIS users use daily,” said Neil Tomlinson, manager of ESRI hardware solutions group. “It allows our users the precise navigation they need for their GIS analysis.”

 “Because SpaceNavigator is supported in ESRI’s ArcGIS Desktop products, GIS professionals now have access to a more natural and intuitive method of navigating and understanding geographic data, whether viewing and analyzing 3D GIS data, conducting map analysis, editing, or creating 3D displays from real-world data,” said Ziva Nissan, 3Dconnexion’s director of product marketing. “Our relationship with ESRI furthers our continued commitment to the GIS community, including making our products compatible with both consumer and professional applications to enable advanced navigation control for map enthusiasts and GIS professionals alike.”

 The SpaceNavigator 3D mouse is a companion to the traditional mouse and is controlled with the alternate hand. The 3Dconnexion product line is supported by more than 100 of today’s most popular 3D applications.

 Availability

ArcGIS Desktop supports SpaceNavigator on Windows XP. SpaceNavigator Personal Edition (MSRP $59), and SpaceNavigator Standard Edition (MSRP $99) are available from major online resellers including Amazon, CDW, Dell, and PC Mall as well as directly at www.3Dconnexion.com.

 The SpaceNavigator Personal Edition license supports non-commercial use of the device and offers online technical support only. The SpaceNavigator Standard Edition license supports both commercial and non-commercial use and offers online, e-mail and phone technical support. Upgrades from SpaceNavigator Personal Edition to SpaceNavigator Standard Edition licenses are $40 and are available online at www.3Dconnexion.com.

 Beta versions of ArcGIS Desktop that include support for 3Dconnexion’s SpaceNavigator are available immediately. Go to http://support.esri.com/ and search for “3Dconnexion” to find instructions on how to set up a 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator 3D mouse.
