Snapshot of StretchSense
StretchSense's mission is to make virtual worlds accessible for all.
The market opportunity ahead for StretchSense
We are solving the problem of hand tracking for the world of content creation. Our core audience is represented by AAA game and VFX studios that use StretchSense gloves to digitise movement to accelerate the animated character hand content creation process.
Over the longer term, success will be defined by our goal to be the hands of the metaverse, where anyone accessing a virtual world can do so easily using StretchSense gloves. Our focus is to ensure the experience our gloves provide is immersive, natural and lifelike.
Accessibility is our key success criterion where our hand solution must work well with many different systems in many different use cases. Here, integrations and partnerships with virtual world makers will be paramount.
