Haptic can be used not only for in-game events, but also to enhance immersion in media experiences like video, music, and cutscenes within games.

bHaptics Designer has a feature specialized for creating haptics for videos and music. You can easily create haptics that match the media, and see in real-time how your created haptic is applied.
