SpaceNavigator
GemPackage/GemView can export SiP 3D model data into Google Earth and Google SketchUp. These tools are operational with normal keyboard and mouse only, but you can consider using it with a unique 3D pose control device "Space Navigator". By using the device, the 3d-viewing operation becomes intuitive and fun.
