| Most typical smartphones today use a technology called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchscreen#Capacitive|capacitive touchscreen]], which are not sensitive to physical pressure, but use an electrical field to sense your finger. You should be able to perform basic screen presses and maybe even pinch gestures when wearing thin gloves. As a rule of thumb a thinner glove will work better than a thicker glove. | Most typical smartphones today use a technology called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchscreen#Capacitive|capacitive touchscreen]], which are not sensitive to physical pressure, but use an electrical field to sense your finger.

| If you are a handyman or like a DIY approach, you can also convert any glove into a capacitive glove by weaving conductive thread into the tips of your glove. You can buy conductive thread at different electronic stores, like [[https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13814|Sparkfun]]. Here is video that describes the process: | Last but not least, you could convert your regular gloves to capacitive gloves.
