We just caught wind of a new kind of 3D-Interface Controller, the Axsotic 3D Spherical Mouse, which allows a user to rotate objects in modelspace as though you were holding them, while drawing and clicking with your other, an experience likened by the designers to working on a 3D tablet. In the video above, the mouse is demonstrated in a character design scenario.
We'd love to hear your initial thoughts. Would this change the way you work for the better? Let us know in the comments.
