3Dconnexion: Empowering CAD experts

With a relentless focus on fulfilling the needs of engineering professionals, 3Dconnexion are pioneering in the drive towards superior, holistic CAD experiences. They collaborated with us to create a range of innovative and patented products that allow users to connect on a deeper level with their 3D content.

Bridging the gap

We designed the specialist range of performance products to bridge the gap between the physical and the digital worlds, empowering users to lose themselves in the flow of productivity. In positive psychology, flow is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. We sought to enable engineers and designers to manipulate 3D objects and assemblies naturally – as if they were holding them in their hands.

Intuition

Designed and tested with end users, inviting forms were developed to maximise comfort and improve efficiency. Each individual control is arranged to sit directly under finger tips for easy, ergonomic access. The high-resolution display presents contextual aware controls relating to your application, bringing the familiarity of the toolbar ribbon to your fingertips.
