Sound & Multimedia
Answer: Sure it does. It s part of the Java 3D API. There is an InputDevice interface.
It is described as follows:
"InputDevice is the interface through which Java 3D and Java 3D application
programs communicate with a device driver. All input devices that Java 3D uses
must implement the InputDevice interface and be registered with Java 3D via a call
to PhysicalEnvironment.addInputDevice(InputDevice). An input device transfers
information to the Java 3D implementation and Java 3D applications by writing
transform information to sensors that the device driver has created and manages.
The driver can update its sensor information each time the pollAndProcessInput
method is called."
The trick is finding a driver. :)
