3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator
4 August 08 - Back
After spotting the 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator featured in my recent .net magazine I decided to go and buy one for myself. I’m a fan of new gadgets and a price of just £40 from Amazon seemed reasonable enough.
I received my new 3D controller a few days later. It’s smaller but yet heavier than I expected it to be.
There are currently 3 program that I can use it with. SketchUp, Google Earth and Photoshop.
I went strait to SketchUp, seeing as this was the only program out of the 3 that uses all the controller’s dimensions.
It’s very tricky to use at first, it takes a little getting used to.
It keeps crashing my photoshop though, but I’m sure this will be fine once I upgrade my computer, as I’m still using a G5 PowerPC iMac.
One little thing that did annoy me was that after one month of use. I got a message saying that my commercial licence had now expired. The message directed me to a site to purchase a new licence. How on earth is anyone going to know what I’ve used it for? anyway.
Overall I feel like I’ve spent the money wisely.
