Gloves compatible with touchscreens - men's / women's

There are situations where we are led to regret the good old days of the keys on the mobile. The order does not pass on a touch screen as soon as you wear a glove. It is essential to cover up in cold weather and it is not very practical to risk freezing your hand in order to make or answer a call. There are solutions!

The principle of the touch screen (phone/smartphone/tablet/etc)

The touch screen has made the shortcut between the different peripherals that usually exist on a computer: the monitor, the mouse, the touchpad and the optical pen. Thus, the touch screen manages both the display and the pointing so that the mouse is replaced by the finger.

Touch screens are of two types:

  • Resistive touch screens: they are found, among other things, on ATMs. Two thin layers of materials of different conductivity constitute the screen. Tiny separators insulate them and when the screen is pressed, the gesture compresses the separators and brings the conductive surfaces into contact. The affected part of the screen is thereby activated. These screens work even if you are wearing a pair of gloves.
  • Capacitive screens: these are the most used for smartphones and tablets. They are based on the fact that the human body is a conductor of electricity. The screen then consists of a glass covered with a transparent conductor where the finger prints the pressure. This causes a disturbance of the electrostatic field that the mobile sensors measure to indicate the location of the contact point. Unlike the resistive touch screen, the capacitive screen is not responsive at all if you are wearing work gloves. work.

Solutions provided by technology

Fortunately, the situation of non-communication could not last long under the pretext of climatic hazards. You no longer have to take off your glove in freezing weather to use your phone or tablet thanks to the tactile material at your fingertips.

Today, gloves have evolved. In fact, the gloves imitate the conductive property of human skin.
