</div>This is true of most modern touchscreens, which rely on body<br>
capacitance. There are many glove manufacturers that make<br>
"touchscreen compatible" gloves that have a small amount of conductive<br>
thread in the fingertip.<br>

multitouch is difficult to do and less accurate on other touchscreen<br>
technologies. Most other techs require sensors of film on the front<br>
side of the glass layer or in a fat frame around the glass which is<br>
prone to scratches.<br>
