Adding haptic feedback to our VR controllers

Haptic feedback, also known as haptics, is the use of vibrations or other tactile sensations to communicate information or provide a sense of touch in a virtual or remote environment. In VR, haptic feedback can be used to simulate the feeling of holding or touching objects and add an extra layer of realism to the experience. For example, when you pick up an object in VR, the controller you are holding may vibrate to give you the sensation of grasping something.

In our demo scene, we will use XR Interaction Toolkit’s built-in haptic feedback system to add haptic feedback to our objects that can be interacted with. This system allows us to add haptic vibrations to specific events, such as when an object is picked up or when a button is pressed. We can also adjust the strength and duration of the haptic feedback to suit the specific interaction.
