great reviews, Andy!

Looking forward to more of your experiments with the CapSense MBR3 EVK

This is a good experiment, and it addresses a very good question I would have about touch interfaces. Good job.

I wonder what would happen if you put a little metal tape on the ends of the glove fingers?

It might improve performance, but I really do not know. Maybe something you can try after you look at the different glove material.

Just at thought.

This is a great experiment, very valuable info for anyone planning on using this tech for a project, there are so many things to choose for a front panel that could potentially interfere with the functionality.

I doubt it would have an effect but have you tried smoked and other "Black" or colored materials ?. I personally like smoked to black acrylic for panels and love the idea of a touch panel behind it

Keep up the great work
