Audio-Based Haptics

Is the VR game you’re looking for not in the list above? Try out bHaptics’s unique Audio-to-Haptic mode, which automatically converts sound output into haptic feedback in real time without noticeable latency. Audio-to-Haptics presets are optimized for rhythm games, and some of the most popular VR FPS games.

You can enjoy all kinds of content with this Audio-to-Haptic technology. It applies to any device that has an audio jack, so you can enjoy music from Spotify or Apple Music, movies, and PC VR games.

Stereo haptics based on audio signals is currently only available for the TactSuit X40, TactSuit X16, and Tactosy for Arms.

In order to receive audio-based haptics on the Meta Quest, you’ll need a wired connection via an audio cable, which is included in the box when you purchase from Knoxlabs.

If you would like to control the feedback intensity, pair your TactSuit X to your phone via Bluetooth. Only TactSuit X16 and TactSuit X40 support audio-based haptics on mobile.

For audio-based haptics with standalone VR, like the Meta Quest, you will need a wired connection between your standalone VR headset, TactSuit and headphones. Make sure to have an audio cable, Y-jack, and headphones with an aux cord ready. Audio-based haptics do not work with wireless headphones.

PC Compatibility

No headset? No problem! bHaptics devices are also compatible with your PC.

From your desk into the middle of the action, positional touch-sensory feedback transports you into the battlefield and enhances your spatial realism. Feel where you get shot, the direction of gunfire and explosions, experience powerful gun recoils, rapid heartbeats, and more with real-time sound-based stereo haptic feedback.

HTC VIVE Compatibility

Wear your VIVE tracking devices on top of or under your TactSuit, as the Bluetooth signals will not interfere with each other!

Both the Tactosy for Hands and Tactosy for Feet come with mounts for VIVE trackers.

Customization with bHaptics Studio

You can configure Audio-to-Haptics frequency settings and create your own Audio-to-Haptics customized profiles by using bHaptics Studio for PC or the bHaptics Player app on a mobile device.
