DRAPER, Utah, April 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc.

All of these partner solutions impact millions of lives and prove the Bend Sensors® uniqueness is in high demand.

As previously announced, more pure-play B2B and gaming VR/AR peripheral manufacturers such as  Manus VR (Netherland's-based), CaptoGlove and Virtual Motion Labs (US-based) have all contributed to Flexpoint's recent success via new and recurring PO's. Overall, this is currently a multi-billion dollar market segment which is expected to grow 10x by 2023. Flexpoint and its' partners are poised to be a major part of this growth.

According to Paul Sexauer, Flexpoint VP Sales & Marketing, "Flexpoint technology plays a key role in these wonderful VR/AR peripherals. Many of these customers have been under development and working with us for a couple of years to achieve what they are now accomplishing – real traction in their respective, rapidly growing markets.
