Immersion Corporation (Nasdaq:IMMR), the leading developer and licensor
of touch feedback technology, today announced that it has entered into a
multi-year licensing arrangement with Continental. With around 182,000
employees in 49 countries, Continental is one of the leading automotive
suppliers worldwide.
Under the agreement, Continental is licensed to incorporate Immersion’s
advanced haptic technologies for touchscreen, touch pad and touch panel
interfaces in Continental’s automotive solutions. Haptic technologies
enhance the usability of in-car interfaces, making it safer for drivers
to interact with their automotive systems while they are on the road.
Haptic technologies bring heightened realism and powerful feedback
mechanisms to today’s touch interfaces and, when used in automotive
navigation and entertainment systems, can provide critical confirmation
cues, reduce distractions to create a safer and more intuitive driver
experience. In addition, haptics offer designers flexibility to create
unique, highly customized interior design throughout the car, in many
cases at a lower cost than implementing similar capabilities through
mechanical equivalents.
“Immersion’s technology is driving innovation in next generation of
touch interfaces throughout the automotive interior. We’re working with
automotive suppliers and OEMs to enable them to create unique user
experiences that are intuitive and safe to operate,” explains Dennis
Sheehan, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Immersion.
“Continental’s adoption of Immersion haptic technology puts them on the
leading edge of automotive solutions providers.”

@CloudExpo Stories By Liz McMillan  HyperConvergence came to market with the objective of being simple, flexible and to help drive down operating expenses.
