Abstract

A glove usable to activate a capacitive touch screen comprises a body configured to cover the palm and back of the hand and a plurality of finger sheaths configured to cover the fingers and thumb. An electrically conductive material is disposed preferably at the tip of at least one of the finger sheaths. The conductive material may be a thin sheet of conductive material, a disc of conductive material, or a fibrous conducting material woven into the fabric of the finger sheath. When the tip of the finger sheath is brought toward contact with a capacitive touch screen, the electrically conducting material effects the touch screen in a manner similar to the tip of a bear fingertip to cause the touch screen to recognize the gloved touch.
