Echo VR Bhaptic Mod Library

This is a library based on event emiter/receiver that you can use to sync echo arena with bhaptics products

Requirements

• ws
• node-fetch

Supported Platforms

• Windows
• Linux (using ipfinder mock)

Install

npm i --save echomodlib

Methods

TactPlayer(tact, ipFinder, configLoader, sendEvent, listenEvent) Init the module, you can use custom mock. Check structure here: (https://github.com/NotBlue-Dev/EchoVR-Lib/tree/main/src). This is a basic code to init and start the backend (this should be in your main.js/app.js)

Arguments

• tact - Module

TactJs Adapter (Connection side)

• ipFinder - Module

Ip finder for the quest (resolve promise)

• configLoader - Module

Loader for default and config.json

• sendEvent - Function

your event emitter function with (channel,args) as options

• listenEvent - Module

your event listener function with (channel,args) as options

Important To start checking for bhaptic players after your TactPlayer is defined YourTactPlayer.launch()

Examples

const EchoLib = require('echomodlib')
const events = require('events');
const eventEmitter = new events.EventEmitter();

const sendEvent = (channel, args) => {
    eventEmitter.emit(channel, args);
}

const listenEvent = (channel, callable) => {
    eventEmitter.on(channel, callable);
}

const player = new EchoLib.TactPlayer(
    new EchoLib.BHapticsTactJsAdapter(),
    new EchoLib.IpFinder(),
    new EchoLib.ConfigLoader(__dirname),
    sendEvent,
    listenEvent
)

player.launch()
