Immerz, Inc. has discovered an entirely new accousto-haptic technology that revolutionizes the way consumers enjoy and interact with multi-media. KOR-fx™ technology is platform-independent and uses the human body itself to allow anyone playing a video game, watching a movie, or listening to music to experience a significantly more powerful immersion and overall experience.  The portable, lightweight device sits comfortably over the user’s shoulders and sends low-frequency vibrations into the chest cavity. Gamers, in particular, benefit from KOR-fx because of its unique ability to provide directional feedback, creating an uncanny “7th Sense” awareness of where the next move is coming from.
