Razer acquires software haptics company to boost HyperSense

pcgamer.com:

There's so much impressive hardware in the gaming scene. It used to be a bit niche and often getting any sort of 3rd party peripheral would be merely a cheap mistake. Instead now we have robust keyboards and mice that improve year over year. Gaming headsets that absolutely slap for all kinds of sound. Nice speedy monitors, and even plenty of stuff you might never have even asked for. 

Razer is one brand that's been pumping out all sorts of PC peripherals for as long as I can remember. The company makes everything from mice, all the way to gaming laptops. You may be familiar with their RGB tendencies, but Razer has also sported a fascination for haptic feedback which may be about to get even crazier.

The company that believes in shaking up our skulls with vibrating haptic headphones and our butts with buzzing gaming chairs(opens in new tab), has acquired Interhaptics(opens in new tab). Interhaptics specialises in gaming feedback from a software perspective. They also focus on haptics for VR and mixed reality systems. Razer is bringing on Interhaptics to help work on its own HyperSense haptic feedback.

But it's more than just buying out the company. The Founder and CEO of Interhaptics Eric Vezzoli is also coming over to Razer. Vezzoli will serve as the Associate Director of Haptics at Razer so it sounds like a fairly big push towards more vibratey things.

“Haptics has tremendous value for gamers,” said Vezzoli. “The opportunity to join Razer was a no brainer for us, as they are committed to delivering the most engaging gaming experience, and we are looking forward to doing it
