Bring VRChat touch and impact feedback to supported bHaptics gear through a guided Unity package and Windows OSC companion.
bHaptics VRChatOSC is the Furroxide-maintained fork of the original integration. It pairs a VCC avatar package with a Windows companion app, adds a guided Setup Assistant, and uses VRCFury to keep generated avatar changes separate from your own controllers and menus.
Warning
Preview: This maintained fork remains an end-to-end test build. Expect rough edges until the project is declared stable.
- Install bHaptics Player, pair your devices, and leave it running.
- Download and run the maintained bHapticsOSC companion app.
- In VRChat, turn on Action Menu → OSC → Enabled.
- Use an avatar with bHapticsOSC support and keep both desktop apps open while you play.
- Open a humanoid avatar project in VRChat Creator Companion using Unity
2022.3.22f1. - Add the VRCFury VCC repository (
https://vcc.vrcfury.com/) and the bHaptics VRChatOSC repository. - From Manage Project, install bHaptics VRChatOSC, then open the project in Unity.
- Select the avatar root and open bHapticsOSC → Setup Assistant. Review the proposal, run its one-action avatar setup, and upload through the VRChat SDK.
The Setup Assistant promotes the next action that needs attention. It can install or locate the companion app, check bHaptics Player and VRChat OSC, fit devices to the selected avatar, and build the VRCFury setup as one undoable operation.

Avatar contacts → VRChat OSC → bHapticsOSC companion → bHaptics Player → bHaptics gear
When an avatar creator opts into Contact Compressor, the avatar build replaces dense contact grids with compact positional receivers. With or without that optional compression, VRChat sends contact positions over OSC, the maintained companion translates them into device motor output, and bHaptics Player drives the paired hardware.
The Unity Setup Assistant observes each part of that chain and reports whether the companion, Player, OSC configuration, project dependencies, and selected avatar are ready.
| Area | Requirement or limitation |
|---|---|
| Companion app | bHapticsOSC.exe runs on Windows and must run on the same Windows PC as VRChat. The Unity assistant remains available on macOS and Linux for guidance, but it cannot run the companion there. |
| Avatar project | Unity 2022.3.22f1, VRChat Avatars SDK 3.10.x, and VRCFury 1.1341.0 or newer in the 1.x series. |
| Avatar platforms | The package includes PC and Quest-compatible avatar assets. Quest-compatible describes the uploaded avatar assets; it does not make the Windows companion available on standalone Quest. |
| Installation | VCC/VPM is recommended. A legacy .unitypackage is available as a fallback; never install both formats in the same project. |
| Companion lineage | The official bHapticsOSC_v2.2.1.exe and older releases are a different build. They do not understand this fork's optional compressed-contact parameters, so use the maintained download linked above. |
