Spatialization Example

In this example the haptic effect transformation parameters can be tested as a sphere is shooting marbles onto a target capsule representing the vest. In playmode, the device will automatically connect to any Skinetic device available, and update the connection status.

Below, the Boost Global Setting is exposed and allows to increase the overall intensity of every effect on the vest. Additionally, the UI exposes 2 different PatternAssets that the user can select. Then, the user can change the position of the shooting sphere.

Automatic connection​

The automatic connection is the same as the Basic UI Example using the same SkiEx_AutoConnect script.

PatternAssets​

In this example, 6 PatternAssets are added to the preload list of the SkineticDevice component. After the OnEnable event, they will be loaded and accessible through LoadedPatterns, a read-only list of all loaded patterns available on the SkineticDevice component. The component then acts as a storage that another script will use.

Shooter​

Using the UI slider, the user can rotate the shooter around the target and perceive the spatialized haptic effect. The SkiEx_Shooter handles the HapticEffect Component and sets its TargetDevice and TargetPattern through scripting. It also instantiates the bullets and passes them the reference to the HapticEffect to use. In order to render each bullet impact individually, the HapticEffect component is set to E_PULLED.

Impact Handling​

The SkiEx_SpatializedCollision handles the computation of the transform parameters in order to apply the haptic effect on the right part of the Skinetic Vest and triggers the HapticEffect component of the Shooter.
