  Immersion Corporation Reports Conversion of Series A Redeemable
      Convertible Preferred Stock Held by Microsoft Corporation

    SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 7, 2004--

      Conversion eliminates certain rights and privileges held by
                               Microsoft

    Immersion Corporation (Nasdaq:IMMR), a leading developer and
licensor of touch feedback technology, reported that on April 2, 2004,
its outstanding Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
("Series A Preferred Stock") held by Microsoft Corporation was
converted into shares of common stock. In accordance with the terms of
Immersion's Certificate of Designation of the Powers, Preferences and
Rights of Series A Preferred Stock, Microsoft voluntarily elected to
convert its 2,185,792 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into the same
number of shares of Immersion common stock. These shares of common
stock are registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3
that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
on Friday, March 26, 2004, and are freely tradable by Microsoft as a
result.
    The conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of
common stock eliminates certain powers, preferences and rights held by
Microsoft, including the right to receive cumulative dividends,
priority over the holders of Immersion's common stock in receipt of
liquidation or merger consideration, the requirement to solicit
Microsoft's consent in advance of certain corporate actions,
beneficial adjustments to the conversion rate for dilutive issuances,
and the ability to force Immersion to redeem the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock for more than twice the original purchase price.
    "We view this action by Microsoft as a very positive event for
Immersion because it eliminates obligations, such as the redemption
buy-back provision and dividend payments, and it removes certain
operational limitations," states Victor Viegas, Immersion's CEO.
