Razer Hydra for low-cost 3D displays

The Razer Hydra is an electromagnetic six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF, position and orientation) tracked input device consisting of a base station and two tracked handles each featuring several buttons and a joystick.

While most often used as a mouse or joystick emulator to work with existing games, the device offers very good usability for 3D applications if using its native capabilities. This video shows how the Razer Hydra can be used as the main input device for a low-cost 3D display.

The software shown in the video is the Nanotech Construction Kit, based on the underlying Vrui VR Development toolkit running on Linux.
