SIMHUB INSTALLATION GUIDE
How to play HydroSim with OWO Skin
Connect HydroSim to OWO Skin through SimHub and turn vehicle telemetry such as speed, steering, impacts, RPM and braking into physical haptic feedback.
Before you start
PC
SimHub
OWO SimHub Plugin
MyOWO
OWO Skin
Important:
HydroSim uses SimHub to communicate supported vehicle telemetry with OWO Skin. Make sure SimHub and the OWO Integration Plugin are installed and enabled before launching the game.
Download the OWO SimHub Plugin
Install the plugin
Extract the ZIP file and copy its contents into the SimHub installation folder.
Enable OWO Integration
Open SimHub and enable the OWO Integration Plugin.
Connect your OWO Skin
Download and open
MyOWO, then connect and calibrate your OWO Skin.
Detect your Skin in SimHub
In SimHub, click Look for OWO Skin to detect your device.
Launch HydroSim
Launch the game, then open MyOWO and connect the HydroSim game card to start the haptic experience.
How does the connection work?
SimHub reads the supported vehicle telemetry and sends the corresponding data to the OWO integration. MyOWO then connects the game experience with your paired OWO Skin.
THE EXPERIENCE
What does HydroSim feel like with OWO Skin?
HydroSim turns vehicle telemetry into physical feedback. As the vehicle accelerates, changes direction, hits something, builds RPM or brakes, the haptic response can change with it.
SPEED + STEERING
Feel the vehicle react as you drive
The faster the vehicle moves, the stronger the physical response can become. The active muscle zones can also change according to the vehicle’s direction, while steering modifies how that feedback is distributed across the body.
IMPACTS
The harder the impact, the stronger the response
Impact intensity follows the strength of the collision, allowing smaller contacts and stronger crashes to generate different levels of physical feedback.
RPM
Feel the engine build through the gears
Engine revolutions can generate physical feedback after changing gear, adding another layer to the relationship between acceleration, RPM and vehicle movement.
BRAKING
Feel the pressure when you slow down
Braking creates pressure across the chest, recreating part of the sensation of the restraint pushing against your body as the vehicle decelerates.
DYNAMIC TELEMETRY
The sensation changes with what the vehicle is doing
OWO Skin does not need to repeat the same effect every time something happens. Through SimHub, intensity and active muscle zones can change according to supported telemetry, allowing different driving events to have their own physical character.
SPEED
More speed, more intensity
STEERING
Direction changes the response
IMPACTS
Strength follows the collision
BRAKING
Pressure builds across the chest
BUILT AROUND THE DRIVE
The vehicle changes. The physical feedback changes with it.
Speed, steering, impacts, RPM and braking all represent different parts of driving. Through SimHub, OWO Skin turns supported telemetry changes into physical feedback that follows what the vehicle is doing.
