SpaceMouse Usage

So I just acquired a 3DConnection SpaceMouse Pro and was curious why Vuforia does not utilize functionality from it but Creo does (according to posts under Creo section where other users talk about limited functionality, not personal experience)? Which I would be content with having the functionality of just the "cap".

Hello Bar3887,

 

Yes, it is not supported today.

 

I have found this open source repository in Github to manage content of WebGL (3D embedded in a web page and rendered in a web browser) with a 3D Connection SpaceMouse.

https://github.com/archilogic-com/aframe-space-navigator-controls

 

So, from a pure technical point of view, it seems to be possible to have a support for this specific hardware.

 

By the way, in Creo Parametric, as far I know, a PRO/Toolkit extension is needed to run these devices :
