Good buddies and researchers from the University of Wyoming, Anh Nguyen and Amy Banic have developed a prototype 3 dimensional I/O device called ‘3DTouch’.
The developers wanted to create a device which could send the user’s movements to the computer and other Virtual reality devices, also capable of working in both 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional mode. Still prototype, the ‘3DTouch’ looks like a thimble (A small metal cap to protect the finger while sewing ) and is embedded with an accelerometer, gyroscope and a magnetometer. It gets attached to the fingers or thumb as a 3D input device which can do translation and rotation as well.
The developers said that this is just a prototype device and they are targeting to make it completely a wireless device before it is finally launched. Along with wireless capability they want to further develop this device to be compatible with multiple platforms, stay economical and highly compact. If all these promised changes are made, then 3DTouch could replace mouse in future.
As we have already entered into multidimensional era, the devices like ‘ 3D Touch’ could bring revolution in the Virtual Reality world. It could be a great resource is gaming and 3D designing.
