Unitouch Studio Documentation
Unitouch Studio is a core software component of the Unitouch solution. It is a feature-rich application that offers a user-friendly interface for configuring and fine-tuning custom haptic sequences for your projects.
See Unitouch Studio Manual for more details.
Skinetic SDK Documentation
Our Software Development Kit (SDK) equips developers with a wide range of tools and APIs to seamlessly integrate Skinetic into their projects. Our SDK provides the building blocks for adding haptic feedbacks into immersive experiences. Developed in c++, several wrapping are available in other languages (ex: C, C#, Python, Java for Android, etc.)
See examples and APIs documentation for more details.
Game Engines Plugins Documentation
To streamline integration with popular game engines, we provide dedicated plugins for Unity and Unreal that integrates our SDK. These plugins offer seamless integration with the respective development environments, allowing developers to harness the power of Unitouch within their preferred game engine.
See manuals and API documentation for Unreal 4 & 5 and manuals and API documentation for Unity 2019+ for more details.
