BrightSign Technology

BrightSign Technology Limited develops gesture recognition technology built around a proprietary high-accuracy stretchable sensing component, using nano-carbon to replace the conductive substances used in classic stretch sensors. Validated through a prior Innovate UK Inclusive Innovation Award, this fully IP-protected sensor chemistry closes a global capability gap — only three companies worldwide, none UK-based, currently manufacture stretch sensors of this quality.

BrightSign's flagship product, the BrightSign glove, demonstrates the sensor's application in gaming, motion capture, immersive experiences and remote control, while the underlying technology extends to smart wearables, and sports and rehabilitation clothing. As a member of Innovate UK's Business Growth cohort (scale-up category), BrightSign is now automating its production process to move from manual assembly to commercial-scale UK manufacturing, working with the Manufacturing Technology Centre as production engineering partner.
