Directional Dark Matter detectors have the potential of yielding an unambiguous observation of WIMPs even in presence of insidious background. In addition, by measuring the direction of the Dark Matter particles such detectors can discriminate between the various models that describe Dark Matter in our galaxy. The DMTPC detector is a novel directional DM detector consisting of a low-pressure CF4 time projection chamber with optical readout. Recent measurements proved that this technology is able to reconstruct the energy, direction, and sense of the lowenergy nuclear recoils produced by neutrons from a 252Cf source, as well as efficiently reject electromagnetic backgrounds. A 10-liter DMTPC detector is ready for underground operation. A 1 m3 detector, now in the design phase, will soon allow us to improve the existing limits of SD-interactions of WIMPs on protons by over one order of magnitude.
