Immersion is one of the biggest selling points for companies trying to get people to buy their gear. Which makes sense given the growth of virtual reality as well as the new focus on the so-called metaverse.
Now, Razer has announced that it has purchased Interhaptics, a company that focuses on creating haptic design tool software. This acquisition should give them more development towards their proprietary HyperSense technology – which is found in hardware such as the Razer Enki Pro chair.
“Haptics has tremendous value for gamers,” said Eric Vezzoli, CEO of Interhaptics. “The opportunity to join Razer was a no-brainer for us, as they are committed to delivering the most engaging gaming experience, and we look forward to doing so together as part of the Razer family.”
As this move has only just been made, we are still a long way from seeing the results of this acquisition bear fruit. However, Razer has a solid lineup of products that feature haptic feedback, like the aforementioned gaming chair and even some headset models.
It will also be a curious thing to follow as another medium focused on immersion. With VR and the Metaverse gaining popularity in the gaming sphere, immersion is likely to be a major factor in enhancing the enjoyment of both of these mediums.
