About Sector 5 Digital

Sector 5 Digital was an immersive technology and digital content studio that developed enterprise experiences for sales, marketing, training and simulation. Established in November 2014 in Arlington, Texas, the company combined visual storytelling with augmented reality, virtual reality, photorealistic animation and real-time interactive technology. Its business was wound down during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

The studio’s work connected digital content with practical enterprise applications. Its capabilities included custom AR and VR application engineering, interactive software, product visualization, medical anatomy training and experiential installations. It also produced video, mobile applications, microsites and digital content for trade shows and events. These activities brought together software development, 3D modeling, animation and interactive presentation rather than focusing on a single production format.

Enterprise experiences

Sector 5 Digital served organizations across aerospace and defense, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, automotive, retail, energy and entertainment. Its portfolio encompassed aircraft and product simulations, anatomical visualization, architectural experiences and interactive audience engagement. Projects used immersive media to demonstrate products, communicate complex information and support training or marketing activities.

The company began alongside the trade show and event marketing firm Skyline Sector 5, an affiliated launch partner with separate ownership and corporate operations. Sector 5 Digital subsequently established a dedicated operating studio in Fort Worth in 2017.

The Glimpse Group acquired the business on February 1, 2022. Sector 5 Digital continued as a subsidiary focused on corporate immersive experiences. During fiscal 2026, its parent identified the studio as a non-core business while refocusing on SpatialCore. Customers were notified of the wind-down, all employees were terminated and certain assets were sold. The parent subsequently adopted the name Brightline Interactive, Inc.
