Making all weather textile gloves capacitive
#9
Capacitive touchscreens work on the principle of disrupting the displays electrostatic field. All you need is a conductor to cause this so in theory, some "glue" with metal shavings (or just some conductive glue) should work fine without the need for it to touch your skin.

I have a pair of leather gloves that are padded on the inside, but I can still use my phone with them. They are older than touchscreen technology so haven't been specially adapted for this use, but my guess would be that real leather is a conductor much like human skin
