The device, called the SpaceNavigator, plugs into a USB port. Using six optical sensors, the 3D navigator is not a replacement for a mouse, but intended for use in the mouse-free hand.The device was developed in conjunction with Google so that it can work natively with Google Earth. 3D Connexion will be offering a personal version with online support--the SpaceNavigator PE--for $49, and a professional version with online, e-mail and phone support for $99.<img src="http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/7731/navigatords296x1897f070qc4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The SpaceNavigator resembles an air hockey mallet and is handled in a similar manner. Users move through a 3D space by sliding, twisting, tilting and pumping the device up and down to direct where they wish to go. The device is intended for use with Google Earth and 3D worlds, but could also be used to navigate through programs such as AutoCAD and Google SketchUp.</blockquote>
