DELL ADDS THE SPACEBALL 3003FLX AS AN OPTION FOR DELL PRECISION(TM)
Workstation Customers
Spacetec Continues to Strengthen Workstation Market Leadership
LOWELL, Mass., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Spacetec IMC Corporation
(Nasdaq: SIMC), the premier provider of 3D interactive motion control
solutions, today announced that Dell Computer Corporation, the world's
leading direct computer systems company, now offers the Spaceball(R)
3003FLX 3D input device through the DellWare organization. The
Spaceball 3003FLX is now available as a 3D Motion Controller option for
Dell Precision(TM) WorkStation customers.
The Spaceball 3003FLX significantly improves 3D interactivity,
particularly for 3D professionals in the computer-aided design (CAD),
digital content creation (DCC), computer animation, and other
professional 3D markets. With the Spaceball, users are provided with a
natural and intuitive method for moving and viewing 3D models as they
build modify and verify 3D designs or animations -- directly within
their active design session. As a result, users are able to focus
their concentration on the model, not on the method required to move
the model. Benefits include improved productivity, earlier detection
of errors, improved design comprehension and faster time to market.
"Now that Dell's Precision WorkStation customers are able to source the
Spaceball 3003FLX directly from Dell, our product availability has been
broadened and our workstation market presence has been strengthened,"
states Joyce Ouellette, Spacetec's Vice President. "This announcement
solidifies Spacetec continued leadership in the world-wide market for
3D input devices. Dell has joined our impressive list of workstation
manufacturers providing a complete 'True 3D desktop' that includes a 3D
graphics workstation, 3D application, and the Spaceball 3D motion
controller."
ABOUT THE SPACEBALL
Spaceball 3D motion controllers allow users to simultaneously pan,
zoom and rotate 3D models as they build, modify and inspect their
designs or animations -- right within their 3D application. With
six-degrees-of freedom (6D) motion control, users simply push, pull or
twist the Spaceball's PowerSensor ball for smooth and dynamic X, Y, and
Z axis translations and rotations. By providing a natural and
intuitive method for moving and viewing 3D designs, users are able to
focus their concentration on the model -- not on the method required to
move the model.
