DLR- Deutsches Zenturum far Luft-und Raumfahrt.
First prototype applications of DLR control was showed from 1982-1985.
The high sales price of about $8,000 per unit
The basic principle behind its construction is mechatronics engineering and the multisensory concept.
Measuring system is drift-free and not subject to aging effects.
Movements were measured by electromagnetic or ultrasonic.
The measuring arrangement in the inner ring is composed of the LED, a slit and perpendicular to the slit on the opposite side of the ring a linear PSD.
Space Mouse is a professional 3D controller manipulating objects in a 3D environment.
It has different modes of operation in which it can also be used as a two-dimensional mouse.
Groundbreaking interface.
Enables the user to intuitively zoom, pan and rotate models.
