Reference guide for developers still using legacy mobile integration tools. Note that this implementation has been deprecated since version 1.3.0 of the Interhaptics SDK.

Implementation Methods​

The Unity SDK offers multiple approaches to implement haptic feedback:

  1. Component-Based: Use ready-made components like EventHapticSource, SpatialHapticSource, and AudioHapticSource for no-code implementation
  2. API-Based: Leverage the HAR class methods for direct programmatic control
  3. Haptic Presets: Use predefined haptic patterns for common scenarios
  4. Parametric Effects: Create dynamic haptic patterns with precise control over amplitude, frequency, and timing
