     RE: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     As counsel to Immersion Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), we are rendering this opinion in connection with the preparation and
filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement")
relating to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of
6,542,552 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of the
Company (the "Shares") which may be offered and sold by the selling stockholder
named therein.

     We have examined all instruments, documents and records which we deemed
relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinion hereinafter expressed. In
such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to
the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

     Based on such examination, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been
duly authorized and, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein, as
originally filed or as subsequently amended.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich LLP

                                        /s/ Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich LLP
