+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:
+* magnetic trackers from [[Polhemus]]
+* SteamVR controllers
+* [[3D pen]]s.
−The most useful 3D control peripherals use [[linear representational action]] or [[direct action]] ([[3D direct interaction]]). They are naturally 3D.
