 PROFILE
Immersion isn't afraid to get touchy-feely when doing business. The company develops hardware and software that simulate tactile feelings -- such as the texture of an object or the jolt of an explosion during a video game -- in order to enhance on-screen events. Immersion licenses its TouchSense technology to companies such as Logitech International and Microsoft, which use TouchSense in joysticks, mice, steering wheels, and other peripherals. Immersion's primary markets include computer gaming (interactive joysticks and controllers), personal computing (mice), and medical computing (medical simulation products), and automotive controls (control knobs).
