This session will provide an overview of the Havok Physics integration and workflows in Unity. Gain insight into how we've integrated the industry-leading Havok Physics system into Unity using our Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS). These slides will cover the shared data layout of our physics engines, the performance and fidelity benefits of Havok Physics, and future development plans, as well as showcasing several examples from the Unity community that leverage these systems. Speaker: Steve Ewart - Havok

Editor's Notes
- Need Havok logo
- Back at GDC we announced a partnership with Unity to provide greater adoption of Havok Physics to Unity users * Created single data protocol for physics * More adoption of Havok Physics * Complete physics solution for Unity
- Back at GDC we announced a partnership with Unity to provide greater adoption of Havok Physics to Unity users * Created single data protocol for physics * More adoption of Havok Physics * Complete physics solution for Unity Emphasis cross platform Platform holders
- Over 700 titles released
- So let’s work together Common
- Created single data protocol for physics Unity Physics backend DOTS physics data representation and backend
- Data Component describe Physics World Build Physics World builds Collision World used for static queries This talk focusing on the Step Physics World which handles dynamic collision detection and response Export Physics World moves the updating dynamic physics data back to Data Component for other non-physics systems to consume

- Callback use to remove overlapping pairs Filtering that is very specific for a particular frame that is appropriate via collision filter. E.g turn of first x frames of an explosion
- Messing with Normals or dropping Tweaking with geometry information e.g. Backface culling Displacement map
- Tweaking with collision response e.g. fake infinite mas Soft contacts Surface velocity

- DummySimulation lets you turn of dynamics
- Using same data so just swap simulation Assuming working at level of Physics Components Simulation backends are different so worth knowing where
