The Strategic Shift Includes: Pureplay Physical AI Focus; Direct Equity Investment by Its Two Largest Shareholders, Incoming Board & Execs; Incoming Tier 1 Board; and Executive Changes
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 14, 2026 / The Glimpse Group, Inc. (“Glimpse”) (NASDAQ:GGRP), a diversified Immersive Technology platform company providing enterprise-focused Immersive Technology, Spatial Computing and Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) driven software and services, announced a fundamental strategic update and financial results for its third quarter fiscal year 2026, ended March 31, 2026 (“Q3 FY ’26”).
Strategic Shift of Glimpse to Brightline Interactive, Inc (“BLI”)
-
BLI is Glimpse’s subsidiary company that provides advanced Physical AI infrastructure software and services to the U.S. Department of War (“DoW”) and Big-Data Enterprises via its SpatialCore platform.
-
SpatialCore is an engine that drives a standardized connection and interface between AI systems, enabling to access the real world – well beyond today’s mostly text and 2D databases and formats.
-
The implications are potentially far reaching and transformative for autonomous vehicles, drone swarms, robotics and intelligent machines, defense systems, advanced weaponry and other.
-
Incorporated at the infrastructure level, SpatialCore enables intelligent systems to perceive, decide and act in the real world (“Physical AI”) via a standardized interface that is usable across disparate systems that currently cannot communicate effectively.
-
-
BLI has proven its technology with several large contracts across cutting edge DoW entities and Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) with both the Navy and Army. In addition, the technology is built in collaboration with NVIDIA.
-
We are encouraged that BLI has generated further and significant interest from various strategic players in the AI, DoW and autonomous segments.
-
Brightline’s leadership team has spent more than two decades developing the technologies underlying data interoperability, 3D/4D computing, cloud-scale infrastructure and Physical AI, with a CEO and CTO team that helped shape the evolution of spatial computing and real-world AI systems. Backed by experienced strategy and product leadership, Brightline combines deep technical expertise with proven execution across government, industrial and autonomous systems.
-
Given this tremendous opportunity, we have decided to focus Glimpse’s going forward efforts solely on BLI as a pureplay Physical AI company. Glimpse is becoming Brightline (“Strategic Shift”). To facilitate this Strategic Shift:
-
A tier 1 board will be replacing Glimpse’s current board.
-
Immediate infusion of support capital from a small group, including: Glimpse’s largest investor, second largest investor, incoming board members, company co-founders and executives.
-
Evaluate strategic alternatives for our Immersive tech subsidiary Glimpse Learning and shut down S5D. Our focus is to allow BLI to clearly position itself in the Physical AI space, and sharply focus company efforts and resources on BLI.
-
Withdrawal of our previously announced BLI IPO process. While much progress had been made, including several rounds with the SEC, ultimately the timing and end result remained elusive and unclear.
-
Tyler Gates, current General Manager of BLI will assume the role of CEO, replacing current CEO Lyron Bentovim.
-
Formation of New Board:
-
As an integral and important part of our Strategic Shift, subject to the finalization of internal transition items, it is expected that on or about June 1, 2026 the individuals listed below will replace Glimpse’s current board of directors*. This is expected to be a highly active and effective board, that has also invested in the current direct equity financing round (full bios to be presented upon the completion of the transition):
-
Ret. Admiral Scott Swift (incoming Chairman of the Board): U.S. Navy veteran of over 40 years, attaining the rank of Admiral and having held seven command assignments, culminating in his service as the 35th Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Mr. Swift currently serves as Chair of the Advisory Board of HawkEye 360, an RF geospatial intelligence company, as Chair of the Advisory Board of Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems, and as an advisory board member of General Atomics Aeronautica Systems.
-
Ret. Major General Pete Fesler: U.S. Airforce veteran of over 27 years, attaining the rank of Major General, culminating in his role Deputy Director of Operations for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), where he directed US and Canadian aerospace and maritime warning and air defense missions. Mr. Fesler worked in the Secretary of Defense’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office where he focused on advancing the application of advanced computing, data architectures, and artificial intelligence in command-and control systems, with particular emphasis on enabling distributed globally integrated planning.
-

-

Prior to Glimpse’s acquisition of BLI, Mr. Gates was CEO of the company and has held senior executive leadership roles at BLI since joining in 2012. Mr. Gates is the visionary behind BLI’s SpatialCore platform, a computing infrastructure designed to enable Physical AI by integrating real-time data, three-dimensional environments, and machine intelligence for applications across robotics, autonomous systems, drones, smart cities, and next-generation transportation.
-
* Tamar Elekels, Ian Charles and Alexander Ruckdaeschel, current Glimpse Independent Directors, as well as Lyron Bentovim Glimpse’s current CEO, are expected to stay on Glimpse’s board through the transition period.
Capital Infusion
-

About Brightline Interactive
Brightline Interactive (BLI) is a Physical AI infrastructure software company focused on helping drones, robots and intelligent machines work together in the real world. Its SpatialCore platform creates a shared operational layer that allows systems from different manufacturers to communicate, coordinate, and operate together more efficiently.
Rather than each machine operating from its own limited view of the world, SpatialCore creates a shared picture of physical reality that connected systems can use at the same time. This gives autonomous systems and AI technologies the real-world context they need to coordinate, make decisions, and scale more effectively across complex environments.
Built on open standards and designed to remain independent of both hardware and AI models, SpatialCore is positioned as the software infrastructure layer beneath drones, robots and autonomous systems, not competing with the AI or mission software above it, but enabling those systems to work together through a shared understanding of the physical world. By reducing integration complexity and improving the efficient use of computing and energy resources, Brightline helps organizations scale large autonomous and AI-driven operations more efficiently.

Note about Non-GAAP Financial Measures
A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results.
In addition to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking net loss and adding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses. The company believes that this non-GAAP measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of net loss, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. This metric is an integral part of the Company’s internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, is available in the accompanying financial tables below. The non-GAAP measure presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
