SAN JOSE, Calif. — Immersion Corporation, developer and licensor of touch feedback technology, is demonstrating its TouchSense technology for touchscreens to the casino gaming market. Demonstrations at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas, booth #670, include an interactive video slot game on a 19-inch touchmonitor. The technology works with the diverse sizes and types of touchscreens commonly used for electronic gaming devices across the casino, bar-top and amusement industries.
 
Touchscreens are increasingly used in casino gaming devices to provide a direct and flexible user interface for on-screen buttons that dynamically change from screen to screen or game to game. Growing numbers of game machines let users choose from a variety of preloaded games. New technology will allow devices to be reconfigured by the operator in real time to tailor the mix offered to suit the time-of-day or clientele.
 
TouchSense technology enables touchscreens to generate tactile cues, promoting a more intuitive, engaging and natural experience for the player. Players perceive that on-screen buttons press and release as if they were physical buttons. In addition, TouchSense tactile sensations can be synchronized with sound and graphical images, creating a more immersive, multisensory experience.
 
"Companies that develop casino games are constantly striving to innovate, differentiate and provide a better player experience," said Immersion vice president Mike Levin. "Our technology generates tactile cues that can help players focus on their game in the exciting, yet distracting, casino environment. We can help OEMs create a satisfying experience that keeps players engaged."
 
"3M is very interested in Immersion's tactile feedback technology," said Terry Jones, general manager, 3M Touch Systems. "We've developed sample demonstrations for the gaming audience integrating Immersion's technology with our MicroTouch ClearTek touchscreen so that we could show our customers how it might work in their systems and solicit their feedback at G2E."
