A Phantom Desktop 6DOF input device

A 3D control peripheral is a physical part of a computer system for controlling something virtual in 3D. It is a control peripheral that enables the user to specify a point in 3D for a computer system easily.

Examples include:

The most useful 3D control peripherals use linear representational action or direct action (3D direct interaction). They are naturally 3D.
