Abstract
The invention relates to a 3D input device (1) for controlling the position of an object (8, 14) in space, comprising a manually operable 3D input element (3), at which input element control demands in three spatial coordinates can be input, and a control dial (4), which generates an output signal dependent on the rotational angle when rotated. According to the invention, the 3D input device (1) comprises a control unit (21) which moves the object (8, 14) in space depending on the rotary movement executed at the control dial (4).
