-Loom: rotating the connections
+As an example of a novel controller built using these
+methods, we present the controller in Fig. [ref-figloomcontrol]_.
+This controller is intended for an interface where
+rotating the multiple left- and right- heading connections
+around the currently focused node is the main action.
+For this, the horizontal wheel corresponds geometrically closely
+to what the user sees on the screen. XXX Loom img?
+The handles can be used to control zoom factors for the 
+focused node and the peripherally shown nodes.

-- a controller with two 1D handles and a horizontal wheel
+   A fully functional controller prototype, with two
+   absolute arm controls and a wheel control. All three
+   controls have enough friction

+We must stress that
+this constoller is still very much work in progress; 
+we are constantly experimenting with 
+more advanced controllers for this application.
+The results 
+will be reported in more detail later.
