StretchSense, a wearable technology company, announced a $2.3 million funding round led by PXN Ventures. The round, equal to £1.75 million, brings the company’s total funding to $20 million to date.
The company will invest in the global expansion of its extended reality, or XR, training glove. This solution enables organizations in sectors like healthcare, education and aviation to immerse their staff in simulated training environments. StretchSense’s glove is designed to help build muscle memory for real-world skills by integrating haptic feedback. The glove vibrates to create realistic sensations in response to a user touching digital objects.
“With fresh investment, StretchSense is looking ahead to 2026 with the aim of scaling breakthroughs that will shape the next generation of XR training — making XR training physical as well as virtual for better learning experiences,” Chris Chapman, the company’s CEO, said in a statement.
StretchSense’s glove also serves the gaming industry, and the company is actively seeking licensing opportunities for the XR games consumer market.
