Six degrees of freedom: Technology, Game controllers & Robotics

Six degrees of freedom (6DOF), or sometimes six degrees of movement, refers to the six mechanical degrees of freedom of movement of a rigid body in three-dimensional space. Specifically, the body is free to change position as forward/backward (surge), up/down (heave), and left/right (sway) translation in three perpendicular axes, combined with changes in…
