Actuate is a piece of middleware software designed to help integrate motion hardware support to game or simulation software. Actuate is designed to be extensible via plugins to allow easy support of different hardware, and to allow different methods of telemetry acquisition.

The goals of Actuate are:

• Once configured, for the end user to be unaware of it’s presence.
• To provide a single integration so that game or simulation software can easily offer multiple motion hardware support.
