joysticks and VRML?

2004-10-04, 11:15 pm

Hello,

I'm contemplating VRML/X3D as a delivery format for some interactive
spaceflight games/explorations. Are there any VRML viewers that allow
the use of a game controller such as a joystick?

Thanks : )

FreeWRL has various joystick drivers (navigation only), there is also
support for Spaceball/Spacemouse.

At least the lastest Xj3D development version come with a new Input-
USB-joystick driver.

According to

http://www.bitmanagement.de/develop...howJoyStick.wrl

Bitmanagement ("Blaxxun") contact has joystick sensor support

If you need a joystick to build animations, you should take a look at
the white_dune VRML97 editor.
