I haven't tried this on a computer yet, just on the iPhone. So I can't address the above comments. But using touch, I think you have created the most intuitive 3-angle rotation I've used yet. The responsiveness is great, and the path follows my finger as I would expect it to (from a purely physical, action-reaction point of view). The mechanics of roll using a mouse are non-obvious to most people, and to have that interface issue addressed by this touch solution is an accomplishment. Maybe that's the real story here?
