3D INPUT/NAVIGATION DEVICE WITH FREEZE AND RESUME FUNCTION

摘要

3D input/navigation device, method and computer program product for controlling an object in a three-dimensional space by an operator, wherein an object can be switched in a frozen condition in which the movements of the object are suppressed with respect to at least one direction such that the object can only be moved in a surface or along a line determined by the operator and can be switched in a released condition in which the object is resumed or released such that it is freely controllable corresponding to a relative position of the device in a reference system.
