Apple's iGlove patent revealed

• Think these may be different to what you think they are for. Surely multi touch works both ways, if you put the touchpads on the tips of the gloves, and add feedback as appears to be happening here, you have a pair of gloves that work on any smoothish surface, like a hand mouse. Think of graphics where you normally have to use a touch sensitive tablet? With gloves, which I suspect will not have woolly glove look, the gloves replace the tablet for most uses and allow an unlimited size of input area as the input dpi could be scaled.
