I've wanted to pick up the intel realsense since Microsoft deprecated the Kinect. I'm glad to see it's easy to integrate it with the Raspberry Pi platform.

An interesting way to count punches. You could also use the sound of the glove impact or use an accelerometer on the target to indicate when it is hit and how hard. DAB
