  1. One last confirmation could be navigating to YourEngineInstallationPath/Engine/Plugins/Marketplace directory. The SenseGlove Unreal Engine Plugin source and binaries can be found inside this directory. This is especially useful in case one desires to copy the plugin for example to their own project's source code to run it at the project level instead of running it at the engine level.

warning

Please note that it is best practice to install the plugin either at the project level or the engine level, but not both. Having the plugin installed in both locations, at the same time, can lead to various issues, especially if the version of the plugin installed at the engine level differs from the one installed at the plugin level. A guide on verifying the plugin version is also available as well.
