Technology
The whole idea of the “smart gloves” started in 2010 and was brought forth because, “If a phone was so advanced, why couldn’t we answer them with normal gloves?” (Agloves, 2013) Agloves is the leading glove brand and were the first company to produce these gloves. These gloves have conductive threading sewn into them that reacts with the phone and allows you to use it. You can buy the conductive threading and make your very own pair of gloves with any normal pair of gloves.
Further Required Research
Since these gloves are a fairly new product, there is plenty of room for growth. One main area that we believe will be expanded is the variety of gloves. With more research and the creation of stronger conductive tread, there is no reason why heavier, warmer, touch screen gloves won’t be created. There are already a couple companies who have made a pair of leather touch screen gloves, but in the future with more research and work they could easily branch out into every different type of glove.
