s patented 6-Degrees-of-Freedom (6DoF) sensor is explicitly designed to manipulate digital content and camera positions in industry-leading CAD applications. Using a 3D mouse, design engineers and 3D enthusiasts are able to work as if they’re holding the digital model or camera in their hand. That same year, 3Dconnexion (later to become a subsidiary of Logitech) was formed and its 3D mouse journey began. Developed under the name “X-Y position indicator for a display system,” it was eventually patented in 1970 based on the principle of two wheels fixed at right-angles to one another.
