    Hello,

    I'm learning Unity, and want to create a VR experience in which the user feels "pushed" after various events in the game. Does anyone know if I would be able to program haptics for the KorFX vest? I've contacted KorFx and Unity, but have not found an answer.

    Thanks!

    It looks like that vest works by simply monitoring audio input. So, yes, you could easily control that with Unity — just play appropriate sounds at the relevant times.

    That's pretty crude control, of course. Hopefully they'll get back to you with info about their dev kit, which I would expect to offer much finer-grained control.

    Are there other ways to control haptic feedback in Unity? Does Unity make any sort of haptic vest?
