Abstract
A novel device for 3D interaction is introduced, the Desktop Bat. This device is an evolutionary development of a mouse. It is like a mouse in that it is used on a desktop, but provides 5 degrees of freedom since in conjunction with translations it can be used to effect rotations about any combination of the principal axes. We discuss the requirements for 3D interaction which led to the design of the Desktop Bat, and the interaction models and software which allow it to be used as a 6 degrees of freedom input device.
