Wanda is a navigation device with a joystick and 3 programmable buttons. With an embedded 6 DOF sensor, Wanda can be used in free space, unlike a typical mouse or joystick. Ideal for CAVE environments, Wanda can be used to manipulate 3D objects in a virtual environment. Use with Ascension products as an additional device that can be “flocked” with multiple trackers, or alone as a stand-alone or ISA or PCI input.
