Touchscreen-friendly gloves for smartphones

ANYONE who has ever tried using their smartphone while wearing gloves will know it’s nigh-on impossible.

You therefore have a number of choices: wear fingerless gloves or special touchscreen-friendly gloves, remove your gloves while using the phone, or desist from using your phone entirely when out in the cold.

Or thanks to a new product called Glovys, you could fix the problem using technology.

Glovys is a removable device that enables you to use your smartphone while wearing gloves.

It bridges the gap between the glass and your gloved finger, allowing the capacitive touchscreen to sense changes in pressure.

It comprises two sheets of film with transparent circuits on them, separated by a small gap.
