A new computer input device will influence various computer software architectures of the future:

Consider, the ordinary mouse will hover at some distance above the mouse- pad, as if gravity were no longer present. If you move the mouse handle nearly without friction, it will hover at the new position infinitely, after being released.

The vertical component is transferred into computer too, equally treated, The mouse handle remains, where it is, when released. A small residual friction will keep it exactly, where it is.
Finally a very simple suspension concept was acheived, and it is upgradeable for further dims and force feedback. Deep analysis of the feasibility has been made. Until now demand came from different sides, therefore the road is open for the creation of something, which is widely useful and wanted.
Especially the future development, where a workspace and objects in it are presented by an autostereoscopic display rather than on a surface, should be accompanied by an input device, which provides access by x-y-z - cursor at arbitrary space point in a simple way. Compared with trackers this device adds the "release and hold capability", which sets the user in a command position. The bit for start and stop of cursor movement is applied automatically without entering consciousness, and leaves the concentration of the future user 100% "on the job".

Due to limited capacities the English presentation shows basic information only (in respect to German Version).
