wow....? t'was another livetime ago......
I'd sub contracted to write the video portion of an industrial test station touchscreen used by the operator while testing airbag squibs.
The point here, they wore gloves that weighed nearly 11 pounds...(steel armored) to protect their digits when squibs exploded on the test stands rather than just responding electronically.
These guys regularly were busting the CRT touch screens with these massive glove as they really couldn't feel anything through them.?
short version... all you ned is a conductive pad through the glove, for contact and either will work just fine.
On that note.... many mfrs now make winter hand glove with just such a touch pad built in so phone touchscreens work with a gloved hand.
Depends on the environment, maint schedules, dust, and monkeys at the keyboard.......?? but 10 $300 15" touch screens will out last 1, $3000 industrial unit. BTDT supporting manufacturing automation for nearly 4+ decades.??
