Title: 6 DOF controller compatibility
Post by: RobiOne on September 21, 2012, 04:59:25 PM: Could it be possible to add compatibility with 6 degree of freedom controller like the 3dconnexion spacenavigator?
It improves a lot the 3d usability and the interaction feeling (i use it routinely on other 3d softwares)

Post by: David Cockey on September 27, 2012, 12:08:04 AM: I support this request. I use 3DConnexion Space Navigator with other software. It would be more efficient to be able to do translations and rotations of the display without having to switch from editing.

Post by: Echostorm on May 16, 2014, 01:06:33 AM: I too would like this request as I use a 3d mouse.
Title: Re: 6 DOF controller compatibility
Post by: hengefjes on June 19, 2014, 02:54:28 PM: I would also love support for 3dconnexion i Photoscan! It feels so limited without it after having worked with it in for instance Rhino.
Title: 3D Mouse integration in PS
Post by: Patribus on August 29, 2014, 06:37:31 PM: Hello,

I just acquired a 3D mouse (from 3dconnexion) in order to work faster on my complex 3D models.

Unfortunately PS does not seam to have support for this type of mouses. Is this correct? Will there be an implementation soon?

Or is there a way around to activate the mouse within PS?

Best regards.

Post by: dcm39 on September 09, 2014, 12:57:31 PM: Big +1... Would be really useful. It's frustrating not being able to use mine.
Title: 3DConnexion Space Navigator
Post by: Drakhain on January 31, 2015, 04:25:16 AM: It would be very usefull and precise to navigate inside the viewport with that 3D mouse. Ability to disable the handle visibility then would be too.

3D connexion devices are supported by Agisoft Viewer only at the moment.

Title: Re: 6 DOF controller compatibility
Post by: solosails on October 28, 2016, 04:39:39 PM: I too have a 3Dconnexion space mouse and it fails to work properly in the software.

This is a real shame as it speeds up the workflow and usability of the software immensely.

Are there some settings I should be aware of to make this work? At present I have all of the control settings to control the 3D model, but only zoom works and very poorly at that.

I have the same problem in the latest version 1.2.6 as well as the WIP 1.3

Thanks in advance for looking into this.

Title: Re: 6 DOF controller compatibility
Post by: SolutionClinic on September 06, 2017, 12:54:21 PM: It seems no one of Agisoft is reading this... Navigating in your 3d environment is a real pain without a 3d mouse!
Turning the object with the mouse and then switching back to selection tools etc. is extreeemly annoying, also due to the fact that your 3D model movement is surprisingly unintuitive.
Title: Re: 6 DOF controller compatibility
Post by: Alexey Pasumansky on September 06, 2017, 01:23:39 PM: Hello,

We are checking all forum threads regularly.

In the version 1.4 the support for 3D Connexion SpaceMouse (http://"http://www.3dconnexion.ru/products/spacemouse.html") and Stealth 3D Mouse Controller (http://"http://www.stealth3dmouse.com/index.php/products/products") would be implemented.
Title: Re: 6 DOF controller compatibility
Post by: SAV on September 07, 2017, 06:30:34 PM: +1

Looking forward to version 1.4
Title: Re: 6 DOF controller compatibility
Post by: Alexey Pasumansky on September 19, 2017, 08:45:15 PM: Pre-release of the version 1.4 is available: http://www.agisoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=7730.0
Any feedback related to the 3D controller devices is appreciated in the pre-release thread.

Post by: LuisM on October 06, 2017, 01:24:54 PM: Hi,

I have a Sthealth 3D mouse modell S1-Z. The connection is by USB port and not by COM1 port. COM1 port is the only one i can choose in Agisoft. How i can configure it?

Regards,
Luis
Title: Re: 6 DOF controller compatibility
Post by: Alexey Pasumansky on October 10, 2017, 03:05:28 PM: Hello Luis,

After you connect Stealth Mouse with the computer using USB you should go to the Device Manager, locate USB serial converter and in it's properties enable VCP (Virtual COM Port), then re-connect controller to the same USB port and again in the Device Manager you'll see COM3 port. After that you should be able to select COM3 in PhotoScan preferences window for the controller.
Title: Re: 6 DOF controller compatibility
Post by: Alexey Pasumansky on November 27, 2017, 05:46:40 PM: Hello all,

Additional information related to the 3D controller support. In the pre-release update of the version 1.4.0 (build 5420) it is possible to invert the navigation directions and adjust the sensitivity in the Navigation tab of PhotoScan Preferences window.
Title: Re: 6 DOF controller compatibility: 3DConnexion Spacemouse Classic
Post by: thl on January 20, 2018, 05:49:37 PM: Hello @,
this is really great news that Spacemouse support is going to be implemented. I have some older Spacemouse Classic, equipped with serial connector (9-pin). I installed Spacemouse X-Windows driver v4.65 at my Linux box (SuSE Leap42.3) It is still working but requires some special tricks:-) 3D-Cube is working, but when I enable Spacemouse support in PhotoScan, it doesn't work.
SpaceMouse Classic is no longer supported by 3DConnexion as far as I know but you find them at Ebay for some EUR, I got mine for 5 EUR. That's good for the low budget.

@Agisoft: will you stay restless until Spacemouse support is seamless working and even my old Spacemouse Classic? Would be a greatful feature.

Post by: pantatpantat on February 12, 2018, 02:01:23 PM: Hello Alexey,

It is realy great to get 3Dconnexion space mouse support for the stereoscopic measurements but we couldnt connect the USB version of the Space mouse. I understand the software only supports serial connection on com ports for now. Will there be an improvement regarding USB connected devices especialy for 3Dconnexion space mouse? :)

Thanks in advance.

I've provided the instruction above:

Post by: pantatpantat on February 12, 2018, 06:14:48 PM: Hello again.

I am pretty sure that there is no "usb serial converter" driver in device manager also there is no usb to serial converter hardware connected to my pc. I dont know any way of bridging usb and serial ports some how for 3Dconnextion Space Mouse. I think this is the situation.

Thanks for your quick response.
Title: Re: 6 DOF controller compatibility
Post by: Alexey Pasumansky on February 12, 2018, 06:36:12 PM: Hello pantatpantat,

3DConnexion device should work "out of box", if their driver is installed. So no need to enable it in the Preferences.

I thought that you were speaking about the Stealth 3D Mouse controller, sorry for confusion.

Post by: obw on March 15, 2018, 05:58:12 PM: Hi there.

Can you help me to configure stealth 3D Mouse to use it with Photoscan ?

Thank you.
