Haptics

The Haptics system in Resonite allows users to define volumes or positions where a user can receive haptics sensations from in the world.

Sources of haptics can be:

Notifications
Buttons
Dynamic Bones
Areas
Avatars
Items
and much more!

Haptics devices that users can have will vary, from OWO vests, bHaptics, GigglePuck, VR controllers, websocket controlled devices, or even Virtual simulated haptics devices.

Some connect directly, such as VR controllers, some via OSC.

Haptic areas and sources in the world can be modified to behave differently based on where a user's haptic device is or how they're interacting with the world. For example, a Dynamic bone can send strong haptics when a user grabs it, as if to say "Hey! Don't pull my ear!"

Haptics volumes can also have a variety of haptic filters applied to them. The effect of these filters stack multiplicatively.

Avatars can also have their haptics adjusted and customized using the AvatarHapticSourceManager in case generated haptics points are not accurate enough for an avatar.

Detected devices with relevant settings will have their settings automatically appear in: Settings#Devices

Notes

bHaptics: Was broken for a while, but should now work again as of: Beta 2026.4.29.1384

OwO vest: This is still broken. . Old command line: -EnableOWO Insert_ip_address_here - Enables the OWO Game haptic vest integration, which requires you pass in the vest's ip address.
