As someone who uses the Unity game engine extensively, using my iPad for even the most basic zooming, panning, and orbiting would be useful. I look forward to support for additional 3D environments. I have yet to use an input system where movement in 3D space doesn't feel clunky; any alternative to the current mouse/keyboard combo is welcome.

That looks goddamn awesome, great to see so much good stuff coming out of the Velocity program in Waterloo!

Very clever.<p>Wonder if an iPad on the other side of a keyboard to the mouse could be useful in Photoshop too (somehow) - colour palette, brush selector, etc. While I'm at a computer, my iPad is sitting there doing nothing.

I don't do 3D work but I almost want to start because of the video on your site. Seriously, that was a great presentation of what appears to be a great product.
