Interhaptics XR SDK (Meta Quest)

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 1176 views

Step 1: Setting up the Interhaptics Core SDK

The Interhaptics Core SDK can be installed via the Unity Package Manager as described in the documentation.

Step 2: Adding GameObjects for Custom Haptics

Create an empty GameObject for the HapticManager, which can be set to be persistent if desired.
Add HapticBodyPart components to the XR Rig, one for each controller. Set the Body Part to Hand and the correct orientation.
Create a normal GameObject, such as a cube, to act as a trigger for haptic feedback.
Add a SpatialHapticSource component to the trigger GameObject, where offsets for Haptic Effect can be set (e.g. a 2-second delay for vibrations).

Step 3: Adding Haptic Effects

The Interhaptics SDK package includes over 30 haptic effects with accompanying audio, which can be selected for use.
Custom haptic effects can also be imported and used, created with the Haptic Composer.

Step 4: Testing

Press play in Unity and touch the collider to trigger haptic feedback.

Refer to the provided video tutorial for further guidance.
