DRAPER, Utah, Aug. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. ( FLXT ) is pleased to announce it has recently received multiple, follow-on production orders from global market virtual reality leader, Manus VR . The orders, totaling $45,000, are expected to be delivered during the current quarter. Flexpoint anticipates future orders continuing to grow in size and frequency.

“Manus VR and their award-winning technology will be at the forefront of this fast-growing industry. We look forward to being an essential partner with them as interest in their technology accelerates,” commented Paul Sexauer, Flexpoint’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

The Manus VR glove offers a revolutionary new VR experience by tracking hands in real-time. Manus VR is the world’s leading company for data gloves and is one of the few companies that measure the orientation of your hand which allows full finger tracking. The glove is completely wireless and along with Flexpoint’s sensors includes other technology partners. The product provides plugins for many of the major platforms. The Manus VR gloves bring solutions for VR simulations, motion capture, robotics and healthcare. The B2B market has seen the value and has proven to be more rapid than expected.

Established in 2016, Manus VR successfully brought to market a feature-rich glove offering. The glove integrates a number of technologies into a unique and truly inspired design. Manus VR has further realized their vision in supplying the industry’s finest components that integrate with various hardware platforms offered by such notable companies as HTC, Vicon, Xsens and others. Some of their more recent, visionary partners include ESI Group and WorldViz .

“Flexpoint is proud to be fully integrated into the virtual reality product from a prestigious firm like Manus VR.” Sexauer further commented, “We continue to cherish and support what has become a long-term business partnership that is mutually beneficial. This relationship grows stronger as we continue to enhance and improve the technology. This validates and reinforces our unique position in the rapidly evolving VR market.”

VR/AR will be an $80 billion market by 2025 according to Goldman Sachs. By comparison the TV market is $99 billion, the tablet PC market is $63 billion and the video game industry is $11 billion.

In addition to the gloves, Manus VR has developed a software development platform (SDK) that enables customers like those named above to design and build applications that extend far beyond virtual reality. This opens up a strong portion of the market that includes manufacturing, retail, healthcare, engineering, military and real estate applications.
