I know they already make "Spaceballs" or whatever they are called but the one time I used one I found it pretty un-intuitive to use.

This on the other hand, could be amazing. Move the "Joystick" part in any direction, side to side, forward back to pan, then as you roll or turn the "Joystick" in any direction it proportionally turns the 3d item.

I have no idea what i would use this for, but I want it.]]>Mar 5th 2008 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/Mar 5th 2008 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/]]>Mar 5th 2008 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/Mar 5th 2008 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/Mar 5th 2008 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/Mar 5th 2008 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/Mar 5th 2008 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/http://www.youtube.com/user/turunda

Sounds "cool", but when you think about it - it must be useful for a very specialize set of applications only. I can see this being made "generally available", and everyone and their uncle sues the maker for breaking everything electronic within 10 feet of the thing.]]>Mar 5th 2008 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/Mar 5th 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/Mar 5th 2008 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/Mar 5th 2008 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/researchers-tout-progress-with-maglev-joystick-aim-to-bring-it/
