SpaceNavigator: An affordable 3-D controller for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Thanks to no-cost apps like Google Earth, Google SketchUp, and
| Second Life, consumers are regularly exploring three-space these
| days. The SpaceNavigator is a good fit for them, since its price
| point is less than half that of 3Dconnexion's next cheapest 3-D
| controller, the similarly equipped SpaceTraveler. More expensive
| offerings range well above $300, making them popular with 3-D
| artists and CAD designers, but outside the reach of home users.

| Today, David has brought his Wiimote at Mandriva office so that we

FlightGear + Wiimote

| With thanks to WMD, you could use the Wiimote under Linux fairly
| sily. For those who don't know Wiimote talks to the Wii console via
| bluetooth. So it works with any computer with bluetooth as well.
