    /24-7PressRelease/ - SAN JOSE, CA, March 13, 2006 -- Design Visionaries, a leader in high-quality engineering-related products and services, and 3Dconnexion, the worldwide leader in 3D motion controllers, have reached an agreement for Design Visionaries to resell 3Dconnexion's SpacePilot. SpacePilot is the preeminent state-of-the-art device to control screen positioning of solid models. It truly is the ultimate 3-D position valuator.

SpacePilot is a breakthrough in the world of intelligent interface devices, featuring adaptive sensing technology that intelligently gives you the exact functions you want, the instant you want them. In addition, an array of extendable keys puts unlimited functions and functionality right at your fingertips.

"In our business, time is of the essence. This is a technology that really helps to go faster and be more productive", says Stephen Samuel, president of Design Visionaries. "Just do to the knob what you want done to the on-screen solid model."

SpacePilot features:
• More than 21 adaptive and programmable speed keys
