Founded in 1993, Immersion (NASDAQ: IMMR) is the leading innovator in haptics technology with over 1,900 issued or pending patents in the US and other countries. "Haptics” is the study of touch. Haptic effects (also known as touch or tactile feedback) are produced by actuators, such as motors, which are built into devices to create vibrations. These actuators are combined with Immersion software to create haptic sensations, like the feel of a button “click” when you press a virtual button. Haptics provide a sense of realism and improve the user experience, and are found in consumer devices like mobile phones, tablets, and gaming controllers.
