How did you detect which phalanges are touched by the thumb ? That seemed like a very interesting project.

It's been done: http://theperegrine.com/peregrine-glove/

It probably can be done like Disney managed here: https://www.cnet.com/news/tablet-like-touch-interface-comes-...

The main problem I'm seeing is the extreme variance of the capacitance between users and the variance across the same user during usage - some smart algorithms that constantly re-calibrate and infer what's touched are needed.
