Currently Windows only with support for Google SketchUp and Rhino. Mac support coming in the next week.

Here's some promo codes for the App Store:

As someone who uses the Unity game engine extensively, using my iPad for even the most basic zooming, panning, and orbiting would be useful. I look forward to support for additional 3D environments. I have yet to use an input system where movement in 3D space doesn't feel clunky; any alternative to the current mouse/keyboard combo is welcome.

Thanks for the feedback, we worked really hard on making the movement very smooth. Everyone's been giving us awesome responses so far. What 3D programs are on the top of your list?

I rarely do 3D modelling, so admittedly the applications I'd like supported are probably outside your initial target market, but here's the top three I want to pair Maide with:

- Apple Motion

- Unity

- Google Earth (I realize there's an iPad version and it's awesome, but Google Earth + projector + Maide would be incredible)

I mainly use TurboCAD and Altium Designer, would love to use your program with these. Looks like really neat software, great work!

What about Maya or Modo support? is it something you are planning to support?

That looks goddamn awesome, great to see so much good stuff coming out of the Velocity program in Waterloo!

Very clever.

Wonder if an iPad on the other side of a keyboard to the mouse could be useful in Photoshop too (somehow) - colour palette, brush selector, etc. While I'm at a computer, my iPad is sitting there doing nothing.

I don't do 3D work but I almost want to start because of the video on your site. Seriously, that was a great presentation of what appears to be a great product.
