Hi, as Paul mentions, 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator is integrated into VRPN, and VRPN is integrated w/ OSG via osgVRPN. osgVRPN encapsulates such user input devices in matrix manipulator and camera manipulators.
If you wish to bypass the VRPN layer, you can copy the code from osgVRPN, and edit to address the device directly. All the modern 3Dx USB devices enumerate as a USB HID device, and most OSs provide ways to access that traffic. cheers -- mew > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:osg-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Martz > Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 2:01 PM > To: 'OpenSceneGraph Users' > Subject: Re: [osg-users] New Device Input > > Hi Renan - > > I looked at adding support for this device to OSG, but was put off by > the fact that they have per-platform SDKs.
