This folder is the companion to the article "3-D Rotation using a 2-D Device" in the June 93 issue of develop. The folder contains the following sub-folders:
• Rotation Controller demo 1.0.1
This folder contains a demo program and an experiment showing five rotation controller interfaces for rotating three-dimensional objects with the mouse.
• Virtual Sphere Sample Code 1.1
This folder contains the source code for implementing the Virtual Sphere rotation controller. For those who have asked me for source code, here it is!

This folder contains an electronic version of the paper "A Study in Interactive 3-D Rotation Using 2-D Control Devices" by Michael Chen, S. Joy Mountford and Abigail Sellen published in the ACM Siggraph '88 proceedings (Volume 22, Number 4, August 1988). It describes the issues of designing 3-D rotational interfaces and an experiment to compare these interfaces.
