3Dconnexion 3D Mice Enhance 3D Visualization, Navigation and Collaboration In New Adobe Acrobat 9 Family of Products

Fremont, Calif. - Sept. 3, 2008 — 3Dconnexion's award-winning line of 3D mice is now supported by the recently released Adobe® Acrobat® 9 family of products, including Acrobat 9 Reader, Acrobat 9 Standard, Acrobat 9 Pro, and the new Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

Acrobat 9 is great for creating and sharing Adobe PDF documents and 3Dconnexion's 3D mice augment Acrobat 9 by allowing people to navigate 2D and 3D content within PDF documents more intuitively than with a traditional mouse alone.

Unlike mice confined to motion on one flat plane, 3Dconnexion's 3D mice enable users to move in all three dimensions simultaneously, using six degrees of freedom. By gently lifting, pressing and turning the controller, Acrobat users can easily navigate to pan and zoom within 2D PDF documents as well as rotate 3D objects embedded within a PDF document in Adobe 3D Reviewer software. An added benefit is that while the 3D mouse is being used to control an object, the traditional mouse can be used to simultaneously select menu commands.

Additional highlights regarding availability and support:

3Dconnexion's 3D mice are supported by Acrobat 9 Reader, Acrobat 9 Standard, Acrobat 9 Pro, and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on Windows® XP and Vista®, as well as Acrobat 9 Reader and Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac® OS X 10.4.6 or higher, including Leopard.
