The advantage of a Locator over something like
Manipulate[
Graphics[Point[{x, y}], PlotRange -> 1],
{x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}]
is that it can be directly moved with the mouse. To easily move a point
in 3D, one needs a special input device. If you do have such a device,
then you might want to look at the documentation page
guide/GamepadAndDeviceInterface . It should be possible to use it to
move a point in 3D, but I never had the chance to try this because I do
not have access to game pads.
