Your project sounds cool as well!
For the sensors pads, I was going to use copper foil squares epoxied to the glove, but that has proven to be very cumbersome--nearly as difficult and messy as the plain silver epoxy approach.
I'm currently looking into conductive fabric as an alternative from this place: http://www.lessemf.com/fabric.html I've ordered the sampler pack to see which fabric might work best. Stay tuned for more info (or just follow the project on Twitter or via RSS).
