A 3D stylus or 3D pen is a computer input device that tracks a user's hand movement in 3D with finer control than a typical VR game controller.
Examples include traditional devices and consumer devices. Examples of consumer devices include the Massless Pen and the Logitech VR Ink.
Traditional 3D stylus devices are mechanically connected to a base, and have been used in medicine. An example is in the VBLaST virtual surgery simulator.[1] THe VBLaST uses two input devices based on products by SensAble Technologies.
One 3D stylus that is available is the Touch 3D stylus from Protocom.[2]
Another device is the Touch X from 3D systems.[3]
