Purpose

The node SoRotateSphericalDragger is a simple dragger that rotates freely in all directions. The feel of the rotation is akin to rolling a ball. The center of rotation is the origin of the local space, determined by the dragger’s position in the scene graph. Transformation nodes placed before it will affect both the dragger and the direction of motion.

This node has a Rotation field that always reflects its orientation in local space. If you set the field, the dragger will rotate accordingly. You can also connect fields of other nodes or engines from this node to make them follow the dragger’s orientation.
