More news from fabulous Las Vegas. Sandio Technology Corp., a California-based firm, has just introduced at the CES 2008 a new model of its 3D mouse, a device designed for navigation in volumetric environments, primarily in computer games, but also (as the company hopes) in medical imaging.
In anticipation to the emerging robotic industry and personal robotics in the near future, Sandio 3D input device supports Microsoft Robotics Studio. Sandio will demo its 13DOF motion controller during CES 2008.
The Sandio 3D Game O2 was developed based on feedback from users and industry analysts. The new unit offers improved hardware quality and software usability as well as auto-loading of key 3D application drivers and plug-ins including Google Earth, Microsoft Virtual Earth, Second Life, Google SketchUp, AutoDesk 3D Studio Max, and AutoCAD. It also comes with 40 pre-programmed game configurations.
The Sandio 3D Game O2 mouse is now available in the U.S., Canada, Japan and China at an MSRP of $79.99 (U.S.).
