What is Actuate Motion?
Actuate Motion is a piece of middleware software designed to help integrate motion hardware support to games or simulation software.
Actuate Motion is designed to be extensible via plugins to allow easy support of different hardware, and to allow different methods of telemetry acquisition.
To make selection of the correct input plugin as easy as possible, Actuate Motion has a built in watcher, that watches for specified processes and loads the associated input plugin when they are detected as running.
This watcher allows the end user to simply play their games, with Actuate Motion providing seamless motion support.
The goals of Actuate Motion are:
- Once configured, for the end user to be unaware of its presence.
- To provide a single integration so that game or simulation software can easily offer multiple motion hardware support.
Features
Easy to use
Install and forget. Actuate Motion runs in the background and watches for games. Simply start your computer, run your games, and Actuate Motion seamlessly provides motion. With intelligent defaults, you may not even need to configure anything at all.
Extensible
Actuate Motion is built on a plugin based architecture, which means that Actuate is future proofed. Need a new game supported? That’s a plugin. Need a new motion rig supported? That’s a plugin. In addition, you can run multiple output plugins at the same time. Need a dashboard and motion? No problem, just activate the output plugins you want.
Up to 6 degrees of freedom
Feel it all, with up to 6 degrees of freedom supported, virtually any motion can be realised.
Built in 3D visualiser
See movement in real time, from any angle, with the built in 3D visualiser and camera controls. A must when integrating motion without access to the hardware!
Chart visualiser
Easily see exactly what data is being sent to each axis.
Motion profile system
Set up your motion exactly as you want it easily for each application. If an application is detected as running, Actuate Motion will not only load the correct input plugin, but will also automatically load your preferred settings.
Plugin for Unity
Integrate motion with your own projects with our easy to use plugin for Unity. Drag and drop a prefab and you’re good to go. If you’re not sure, just load up our sample scene and see a working example.
