      Corporation Plans to Divest Its 3D Business</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 17, 2008--Immersion
      Corporation (NASDAQ: IMMR), the leading developer and licensor of touch
      feedback technology, today announced that it will divest its 3D line of
      business.
    </p>
    <p>
      &quot;Immersion&#8217;s global strategy is now focused on the largest and most
      potent growth markets in our portfolio, our medical and touch lines of
      business, and as a result we will divest our 3D line of business,&#8221; said
      Clent Richardson, Immersion&#8217;s president and CEO. &#8220;This decision was made
      following an exhaustive review of our strategy, key assets, core
      competencies, business operations, growth market opportunities and
      global aspirations. The divestiture of our 3D line of business will
      allow us to properly align our priorities, resources and energy as well
      as strengthen our focus on capturing the substantial and well recognized
      growth opportunities in the areas of medical and touch in markets around
      the world.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Immersion&#8217;s 3D line of business consists of a variety of products in the
      areas of 3D digitizing, 3D measurement and inspection, and 3D
      interaction, supported by a strong global reseller network. Products
      include MicroScribe&#174; digitizers, CyberGlove&#174; family of products that
      capture motion and manipulate objects in virtual reality, and a
      SoftMouse&#174; 3D positioning device. The products are used in a variety of
      end-markets worldwide including computer modeling, part inspections,
      reverse engineering, virtual design and prototyping, motion capture,
      animation, mapping, GIS surveys, and other applications.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;We expect to conclude this process in the first quarter of 2009. While
      we are not providing any financial projections relative to this matter,
      we anticipate that we will realize a reduction in operating expenses
      once we have transitioned out of this line of business,&#8221; said Stephen
      Ambler, Immersion&#8217;s chief financial officer.

      <b>Forward-looking Statements</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      This press release contains &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; that involve
      risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never
      materialize or prove incorrect, could cause the results of Immersion
      Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries to differ materially from
      those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
    </p>
    <p>
      All statements, other than the statements of historical fact, are
      statements that may be deemed forward-looking statements, including any
      statements of the plans, strategies, and objectives of management
      relating to the divestiture of the 3D line of business; any statements
      of the plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future
      operations; any projections of earnings, revenues, expense savings,
      accounting charges or other financial matters; any statements concerning
      consumer products or consumer and&#160;market acceptance of force feedback
      products in general; and any statement or assumptions underlying any of
      the foregoing. Immersion&#8217;s actual results might differ materially from
      those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to risks
      and uncertainties associated with our business which include, but are
      not limited to, a delay in or failure to execute the plans, strategies,
      and objectives of management relating to the divestiture of the 3D line
      of business, a delay in or failure to achieve commercial demand for our
      products or a delay in or failure to achieve the acceptance of&#160;force
      feedback as a critical user experience.
    </p>
    <p>
      For a more detailed discussion of these factors, and other factors that
      could cause actual results to vary materially, interested parties should
      review the risk factors listed in our most current Form 10-Q, which is
      on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The
      forward-looking statements in this press release reflect our beliefs and
      predictions as of the date of this release. We disclaim any obligation
      to update these forward-looking statements as a result of financial,
      business, or any other developments occurring after the date of this
      release.
