The mouse senses your motion and your clicks and sends them to the computer so it can respond appropriately. An ordinary mouse detects motion in the X and Y plane and acts as a two dimensional controller.
It is not well suited for people to use in a 3D graphics environment.
Space Mouse is a professional 3D controller specifically designed for manipulating objects in a 3D environment.
It permits the simultaneous control of all six degrees of freedom - translation rotation or a combination.
The device serves as an intuitive man-machine interface
Spacemouse is developed by the DLR institute of robotics and mechatronics.
DLR- Deutsches Zenturum far Luft-and Raumfahrt
The basic principle behind its construction is
MECHATRONIC ENGINEERING
Mechatronics is concerned with the design automation and operational performance .
The basic idea of Mechatronics engineering is to apply innovative controls to extract new level of performance from a mechanical device. It means using modem cost effective technology to improve product and process performance, adaptability and flexibility.
MECHATRONICS APPLICATION
consumer product design,
instrumentation,
manufacturing methods,
computer integration and process and device control computer integration
sequencing automation.
Robotics and space exploration equipments.
Smart domestic consumer goods
Computer peripherals.
Security systems.
After lengthy experiments it turned out around 1981 that integrating a six axis force torque sensor (3 force, 3 torque components) into a plastic hollow ball was the optimal solution. Such a ball registered the linear and rotational displacements as generated by the forces/ torques of a human hand, which were then computationally transformed into translational / rotational motion speeds.
The first force torque sensor used was based upon strain gauge technology, integrated into a plastic hollow ball.
MAGELLAN
To redesign the control ball idea with its unsurpassed opto electronic measuring system and optimize it thus that 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.
The new manipulation device would also be able to function as a conventional mouse and appear like one, yet maintain its versatility in a real workstation design environment.
MAGELLAN: FEATURES
Ease of use of manipulating objects in 3D applications.
Calibration free sensor technology for high precision and unique reliability.
Fingertip operation for maximum precision and performance.
Double productivity of object manipulation in 3D applications.
Natural hand position (resting on table) eliminates fatigue.
graphics environment
strain gauge technology
We get very good knowledge on atmospheric conditions.
We are able to invent new information on astronomical objects like galaxy and new discovery of planets and other astronomical objects.
If the rockets donot work properly then the astronauts will put in troubles.
It wouldn’t want to sit there in a ship traveling for hundreds of years to see if im going to make it to another planet or not.
VISUAL SPACEMOUSE
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
Conclusion
The graphics simulation and manipulation of 3D volume objects and virtual worlds and their combination e.g. with real information as contained in TV images (multi-media) is not only meaningful for space technology, but will strongly change the whole world of manufacturing and construction technology, including other areas like urban development, chemistry, biology, and entertainment. For all these applications we believe there is no other man- machine interface technology comparable to Magellan in its simplicity and yet high precision. It is used for 3D manipulations in 6 dof , but at the same time may function as a conventional 2D mouse.
