StretchSense designs and manufactures data-capture gloves that replace handheld controllers and allow users to interact naturally in extended-reality (XR) simulations. The company’s flagship XR Train glove records detailed hand movements and adds haptic vibrations so trainees build muscle memory that translates to real-world skills. StretchSense targets enterprise and government training in healthcare, education, aviation, defence, and is also pursuing licensing opportunities in the gaming market. Engineering, software, and marketing operations are based in Edinburgh, while hardware design and manufacturing are handled in Auckland through partner and shareholder TPK. A satellite office in the Bay Area supports U.S. customers. Newly appointed CEO Chris Chapman and CRO Philip Jamison bring experience scaling global wearables and XR businesses. Fueled by nearly a decade of R&D, the firm plans to scale production and expand internationally through 2026. Including the latest round, StretchSense has raised close to $20 million across three external funding rounds.
