The  is the first product using the Orion? technology, a new high precision, 6th generation technology with roots going back to the 1980s. Precision non-contact optical sensors deliver excellent responsiveness.
What is an  ?
The has a ball that you lightly push, pull and twist with your fingertips in any 3D direction to move a 3D computer graphic object around with complete spatial freedom on the screen.
Why do I need one?
The will revolutionize the way you work. It complements the keyboard and mouse, eliminating many inefficient and repetitive mouse clicks. The Astroid provides the ability to naturally manipulate 3D designs just as you would move a physical object. The drives your 3D design, unleashing the full power of your software. This generates up to 50% efficiency improvements, significantly reduces fatigue, thus keeping you in the design zone. Eight programmable buttons place routine macros and functions at your fingertips. (depends on application)
Who can benefit from an ?
Precursors to the were first introduced in 1987. Now over 250,000 3D CAD engineers and designers have embraced the technology. Aerospace and automotive businesses like Airbus, Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Ford, and General Motors plus many smaller businesses and individuals are reaping the benefits that the Astroid can now offer at an affordable price.
Why "Astroid"?
An astroid is a mathematical curve created by rolling a smaller circle inside a larger one. The circle-in-circle reflects the sphere-in-sphere design of the . The word ?astroid? is also an acronym for:
A Spatial Translate/Rotate Orb Input Device
Another way to remember the spelling is
