SimpleBLE for Unreal Engine
The Bluetooth plugin for Unreal Engine
Bring Bluetooth into Unreal with SimpleBLE. Skip the platform glue and focus on the experience you are building.
A complete BLE layer, native to Unreal
Bring SimpleBLE into your Unreal projects, from device discovery through live notifications, while keeping your focus on the experience you are building.
Scan, connect, and stream
Discover nearby peripherals, connect to them, then read, write, and subscribe to stream data from Unreal.
Services and characteristics
Inspect services, characteristics, UUIDs, and properties at runtime, matching the protocol your hardware already exposes.
Blueprints and C++
Use the same calls in Blueprints and native code, so designers and engineers work from one integration.
One API across platforms
Keep the same BLE workflow on desktop and mobile, without rebuilding the Bluetooth layer for each operating system.
// AHeartRateActor::BeginPlay()
auto adapter = SimpleBLE::Adapter::get_adapters()[0];
adapter.scan_for(5000);
auto peripheral = adapter.results()[0];
peripheral.connect();
peripheral.notify(hr_svc, hr_char, [this](ByteArray data) {
// live sensor data, straight into Unreal
});When Unreal needs live device data
Use SimpleBLE when Bluetooth peripherals are part of the experience: sensors, controls, wearables, and rigs feeding gameplay, visualization, or training workflows.
Connected training
Stream trainer, power, cadence, or heart-rate data into Unreal without building a separate BLE integration.
Tactile feedback
Connect haptic vests, gloves, and controllers so physical feedback can respond to events in the scene.
Golf and swing simulation
Bring launch, swing, or club data from Bluetooth hardware into Unreal for training and simulator workflows.
Adaptive XR
Use heart-rate, EEG, or other wearable signals to adjust scenes, pacing, and feedback in real time.
Training rigs
Connect wireless controls, sensors, and motion hardware to Unreal-based simulation and operator training systems.
Interactive spaces
Use wearables, beacons, and proximity sensors to make location-based Unreal experiences respond to visitors.
