Sixense TrueMotion 3D CAD Interface

Sixense's TrueMotion interface has some fascinating potential beyond being used as a gaming input device. In Part 3 of this interview, Jeff Bellinghausen, CTO and Chief Architect, demonstrates a CAD interface designed at the Sixense studios that utilizes two TrueMotion controllers working simultaneously to fluidly and accurately manipulate objects in a 3D space, including the ability to rotate, tilt, pan and scale multiple objects with ease. The controllers operate within a magnetic field rather than relying upon accelerometer technology. The degree of accuracy falls to the nearest millimeter, and is updated once every ten milliseconds. Also watch these episodes: Sixense TrueMotion 3D Controller and Sixense TrueMotion Controller Demo.
