Directional information in the direct dark matter searches is believed to be able providing a clear discovery of the galactic WIMP dark matter, together with a further potential to investigate the properties of the dark matter. CYGNUS is a concept to detect the galactic WIMP dark matter particles with directionality. In this paper, physics motivation and technological R&D status will be reviewed.
