Ladies and Gentlemen:

As legal counsel for Immersion Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), we are rendering this opinion in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Registration Statement"), of
up to 200,000 shares of the Common Stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company which
may be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted under the
Immersion Corporation Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement with Richard Vogel
(the "Agreement").

We have examined all instruments, documents and records which we deemed relevant
and necessary for the basis of our opinion hereinafter expressed. In such
examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to
the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We express no opinion
concerning any law other than the corporation laws of the State of Delaware. As
to matters of Delaware corporation law, we have based our opinion solely upon
our examination of such laws and the rules and regulations of the authorities
administering such laws, all as reported in standard, unofficial compilations.

Based on such examination, we are of the opinion that the 200,000 shares of
Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of stock options granted under
the Agreement are duly authorized shares of the Company's Common Stock, and,
when issued against receipt of the consideration therefor in accordance with the
provisions of the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement referred to above and the use of our name wherever it
appears in said Registration Statement.

Respectfully submitted,

GRAY CARY WARE & FREIDENRICH LLP
