Overview
Connects OnShape and SketchUp Web to the Linapse CAD Mouse spacenav bridge.
Linapse Browser Connector is the official browser extension for the Linapse CAD Mouse project. It enables 6-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) space mouse navigation in browser-based CAD applications — specifically OnShape and SketchUp Web. What it does OnShape and SketchUp Web only activate their 3Dconnexion-style integration when the browser reports a Windows platform. Linapse runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS and bridges your CAD mouse to those apps through a local WebSocket service (spacenav-ws on port 8181). This extension makes those web apps believe they are running on Windows so they connect to your local Linapse spacenav bridge instead of ignoring the device. What you need This extension works together with the Linapse host software — it is not standalone.

It injects a small content script at page load on the supported CAD domains only. The script overrides navigator.platform locally in the page context so the web app enables space mouse support. No browsing history, keystrokes, page content, or personal information is accessed or sent to Linapse or any third party. Open source Linapse is open source (GPL-3.0).
