Providing tools for adding tactile feedback or haptics to Android apps, Immersion’s MOTIV Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.0 enables access to hundreds of pre-designed haptic effects, code samples, and resources. A library of pre-designed haptic effects is accessible from the application programming interface (API), and an effect preview app allows developers to experience and test effects on any Android handset. Not just compatible with handsets using Immersion’s TouchSense embedded software, the MOTIV SDK automatically optimizes haptic effects across all Android handsets to reduce code fragmentation. It currently supports Android 2.1 and later and is forward compatible for future implementations. Support is via the MOTIV API, forum, and reference documentation. The SDK is available for download here.
