3Dconnexion’s award-winning line of 3D mice can now be used to explore the 3D world in Google Earth 5.0 beta.
You can explore rich geographical content, save your toured places, and share with others.
Google Earth lets you fly anywhere on Earth to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings, from galaxies in outer space to the canyons of the ocean.
“3Dconnexion’s 3D mice complement the new features introduced in Google Earth 5.0, allowing explorers to learn and discover with greater ease,” said Dieter Neujahr, president of 3Dconnexion.
“Navigating 3D sea-floor terrain or discovering topography on Mars becomes a more immersive experience using 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice, allowing people to enjoy the wonders of the Earth and galaxy thanks to a more natural connection.”
3Dconnexion’s 3D mice are now also compatible with Google Earth 5.0’s new Touring feature, promising smoother recording of journeys.
“Google Earth enables people of varying skills to search, discover and share their experiences in the 3D world more easily, and to develop a greater appreciation for the world and its environment,” added Peter Birch, product manager, Google Earth.
“3Dconnexion’s 3D mice provide a natural way for people to navigate and interact with the new features introduced in the newest version of Google Earth, making it an even more enjoyable exploration and learning experience.”
Unlike mice confined to motion on one flat plane, 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice enable people exploring in Google Earth to move in all three dimensions simultaneously says the company.
By pulling, pushing and tilting the 3D mouse controller cap, people using Google Earth can soar around the earth, zoom on a specific location to view closer details, or rotate 3D scenes without stopping to select commands.
3Dconnexion 3D mice are now supported by Google Earth.
Google Earth 5.0 beta is compatible with the entire 3Dconnexion 3D mouse product line including SpaceNavigator Personal Edition (49.99 inc VAT), SpaceNavigator Standard Edition (79 ex VAT), SpaceNavigator for Notebooks (90 ex VAT), SpaceExplorer (229 ex VAT) and SpacePilot (299).
Google Earth 5.0 beta is available free to download for Mac, PC or Linux.
