A 3D stylus or 3D pen is a computer input device that tracks the movement in 3D with finer control than a typical 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.
