Wireless Content Provider GeoTel Signs License Agreement for Immersion's VibeTonz(R) System for KTF's Network.

Content Providers Can Create Touch-Enabled Games, Ringtones, Music, and More for KTF Subscribers

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Immersion Corporation (Nasdaq:IMMR), a leading developer and licensor of touch feedback technology, announces that South Korea wireless content aggregator GeoTel will work with its development community to bring VibeTonz-enhanced content to Korea Telecom Freetel (KTF) subscribers. KTF is South Korea's second largest wireless operator.

GeoTel developers will be able to create a wide variety of touch effects and add them to content tailored for specific market segments. Using the VibeTonz SDK, which is compatible with KTF's WIPI platform, developers can add a wide range of tactile effects to make content more fun, engaging, and interactive. VibeTonz effects can also be used to add a cool new dimension to existing content.

A key solution provider for KTF, GeoTel was selected to commercialize KTF's WIPI platform in 2002; launch its downloadable game portal, GPANG, in 2004; and manage its music portal site, Dosirak. GeoTel operates the Coolshot messaging service, an integrated messaging hub system for major mobile operators in Korea. In addition, it provides a multimedia mobile browser; multimedia content, such as video-on-demand; and downloadable games, music, ringtones, and other wireless services for KTF. GeoTel is an MSN Mobile Premium Edition developing partner, providing the Microsoft MSN Mobile service for KTF.

"Our focus is on providing new fun content for KTF subscribers," said Mr. Jong Min Lee, CEO, GeoTel. "We think this audience will greatly appreciate the value that the VibeTonz System adds to mobile games, music, ringtones, messaging, and other content and applications. For example, now, along with high performance graphics, gamers will be treated to a startling improvement in realism. They will be able to feel a wide variety of touch effects similar to the force feedback in video console systems."

"GeoTel's vision for the VibeTonz System makes use of its extensive capability to improve the user communications experience, including game play," said Immersion CEO Vic Viegas. "Their vision reinforces what we believe -- that when you connect with a third sense, touch, along with sight and sound, you can more fully engage consumers to increase loyalty, as well as help drive revenue and create differentiation and brand value."
