The difficulty of making good mouse based navigation techniques, due to the lack of self-centering mechanism in mouse like devices, in part motivated a recent paper of mine "In Search of the "Magic Carpet", Design and Experimentation of a 3D Navigation Interface" (available on my web page). I wished there were a survey on that topic when writing our paper.
