Immersion Corp
Immersion Corp. makes touch-feedback technology, also called haptics. Its patents and software let a device vibrate, click, or pulse in response to what a user does on a screen or controller. The company does not usually build the hardware itself; it develops the technology and intellectual property that other companies put into their products. Its main customers are device makers and software companies in consumer electronics, gaming, automotive, medical devices, and other interactive products. Immersion usually makes money by licensing its patents and technology to those companies, often through royalty agreements and other contract payments tied to the products that use its haptics. What makes Immersion different is that it sits in the value chain as a technology licensor rather than a manufacturer. That gives it a business model centered on intellectual property and standards-based adoption: when a phone, game controller, car display, or other device uses haptic feedback, Immersion can earn fees for the underlying touch experience technology.
