Neat! I haven't seen one of those since 1987, when I briefly played with a workstation that had one of those in an unguarded computer room in college. It was running some sort of CAD demo in which you could rotate, translate, and scale a wireframe model with the dials. I seem to recall that it was propped up diagonally on some sort of stand, but I don't remember if that was a standard feature vs. something cobbled together locally. Good luck learning how to talk to it. I can think of a number of different applications in which a physical interface like that might be nice. -- Mark J.
