  3. AIM OF THE PRESENTATION To familiarize the you what SPACE MOUSE is all about. To explain its pros and cons over other technology. FUTURE SCOPE of the existing technology.

  4. INTRODUCTION • Space Mouse is a professional 3D controller specifically designed for manipulating objects in a 3D environment. • permits the simultaneous control of all six degrees of freedom • serves as an intuitive man-machine interface

  5. EVOLUTION • The predecessor of the spacemouse was the DLR controller ball. • redesigned the control ball idea with its unsurpassed optoelectronic measuring system and optimized it to reduce manufacturing costs to a fraction of its previous amount and thus allow it to approach the pricing level of high quality PC mouse at least long-term.

  6. Spacemouse has its origins in the late seventies when the DLR (German Aerospace Research Establishment) started research in its robotics and system dynamics division on devices with six degrees of freedom (6 dof) for controlling robot grippers in Cartesian space. ROBOT GRIPPER

  7. BASIC PRINCIPLES • Mechatronics : (blending of Mechanical engineering,Electronics engineering and Computing eg. Intelligent window shade,disk drives etc. ) • Multisensory concept : (use 6 one-dimensional position detectors)

  8. The 6 d.o.fs TRANSLATIONAL COORDINATES

  9. ROTATIONAL COORDINATES

  10. WORKING • The new system used 6 one-dimensional position detectors. • 2 parts : • Inner part - six systems composed of the LED, a slit and perpendicular to the slit on the opposite side of the ring a linear position sensitive detector (PSD) kept at 60 degree • Outer part - ring with PSD's is fixed and connected via springs with the LED-slit-basis.

  12. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

  13. FEATURES • Calibration free sensor technology for high precision and unique reliability. • Settings to adjust sensitivity and motion control to the users preference. • Double productivity of object manipulation in 3D applications. • Any computer whose graphics power allows to update at least 5 frames per second of the designed scenery, and which has a standard RS232 interface, can make use of the full potential of Magellan spacemouse.

  14. PROS : • drawing times is reduced by 20%-30% increasing overall productivity. • going back and forth to the menu is eliminated. • small form factor frees up the desk space. • natural hand position (resting on table) eliminates fatigue.

  15. CONS : • too expensive (nearly $8000 earlier now reduced to about $3000 eventhough manufacturing cost is less than $1000) • works only if RS232 interface is provided.

  16. APPLICATIONS • CAD/CAM/CAE • AutoCAD • Autodesk Inventor • Digital Content Creation • 3D MAX • BodyPaint 3D • Productivity Tools • Adobe Photoshop • Internet Explorer

  17. FUTURE SCOPE • Magellan's predecessor, DLR's control ball, was a key element of the first real robot inspace, ROTEX- (3), which was launched in April 93. • A most intuitive controlling device would be a system that can be instructed by watching and imitating the human user, using the hand as the major controlling element. This would be a very comfortable interface that allows the user to move a robot system in the most natural way. This is called the visual space mouse.

  18. CONCLUSION The graphics simulation and manipulation of 3D volume objects and virtual worlds and their combination is not only meaningful for space technology, but will strongly change the whole world of manufacturing and construction technology . For all these applications we believe there is no other man- machine interface technology comparable to Magellan in its simplicity and yet high precision.
