Inter-digit movement detection based on capacitive imaging

A capacitive imaging glove operative to perform digit movement detection comprising:

• a first electrode implemented within a first digit of the capacitive imaging glove;
• a second electrode implemented within a second digit of the capacitive imaging glove, wherein at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode has a shape of a square, a rectangle, a circle, an oval, a diamond, a triangle, an arc, or a hexagon;
• a drive-sense circuit (DSC), wherein when enabled, the DSC configured to:
• provide a signal to the first electrode and simultaneously to sense the signal, wherein sensing of the signal includes detection of an electrical characteristic of the first electrode, wherein the electrical characteristic of the first electrode is based on the signal coupled from the first electrode to the second electrode via a gap between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein movement of at least one of the first digit of the capacitive imaging glove or the second digit of the capacitive imaging glove changes a distance between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the electrical characteristic of the first electrode corresponds to at least one of an impedance, a capacitive reactance, or a capacitance of the first electrode;
• and
• generate a digital signal representative of the electrical characteristic of the first electrode;
• memory that stores operational instructions;
• and
• one or more processing modules operably coupled to the DSC and the memory, wherein, the one or more processing modules, when enabled, is configured to execute the operational instructions to:
• process the digital signal representative of the electrical characteristic of the first electrode to determine the electrical characteristic of the first electrode;
• process the electrical characteristic of the first electrode to determine change of the distance between the first electrode and the second electrode that is based on the movement of at least one of the first digit of the capacitive imaging glove or the second digit of the capacitive imaging glove;
• and
• generate capacitive image data representative of the movement of the at least one of the first digit of the capacitive imaging glove or the second digit of the capacitive imaging glove.
