ABSTRACT:
A mitt enhances the sense of touch when worn on a hand of a user as an object is touched with the palm side of the fingertips. The apparatus is formed of an enclosure of first and second layer of a pliable and elastic material, a lubricant, and a third layer of sheet material. The first and second layers are sealed together along their perimeter to form the enclosure. The lubricant inside the enclosure is present in a quantity and with sufficient lubricity that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the walls of the enclosure is less than the coefficient of kinetic friction between the fingertips and the enclosure and less than the coefficient of kinetic friction between the object being touched and the enclosure. The third layer covers part or all of the second layer and is attached to the second layer along part or all of the second layer's perimeter to form an opening between the second and third layers and to form a pocket into which the hand of the user can be inserted with the palm facing toward the second layer.
