Logitech recently released a pen for this kind of purpose.

It's meant to be used with virtual reality headsets, I'm not sure if their pen can be made to work outside VR.

Do you need help with integrating your app into blender as a plugin? If so, please do reach out. I'd love to help. mail@laura.fm



Cool! Didn't know about the pen, though I've seen clips of similar tech being used.

I've got a long ways to go with this app though so it's still just a pet project. The position tracking is very suboptimal right now, so I need to switch to a better library. And then I need to start adding actual actions because right now the app is just a glorified object viewer.

I'm insanely flattered that you think it's interesting though. Very motivating to me.

I love this space of hybrid computing. If you want to see some inspiration, look at
