Actually, I meant that they should include the "too long, didn't read" bit at the top, because it's a lot to take in. A busy person might move on to another post without reading this, but it's a project that's definitely worthy of everyone's attention. If it's not a helpful suggestion, I can delete my post.

The hydra is really poorly suited to 3d modeling tasks due to the complete lack of pressure sensitivity. The ideal 3d modeling input looks more like a sensable than a hydra.

3d animation on the other hand would be a perfect application for the hydra as it is a task that is primarily about translating and rotating things in 3d space. Pressure sensitivity is not important in animation, accurate and intuitive 3d movement and rotation is.
I would be far more interested in what kind of Rift+Hydra plugins you guys could develop for established 3d packages than what you can come up with on your own as you are going to be playing catch up for a very long time. It would also probably be a lot cheaper for you guys to develop plug-ins for maya, max, and motion builder than it would be to roll your own application. You would also get to leverage existing user bases to market too and not have to convince them to get a new tool.
