Though I don't have a glove setup yet, and don't have a way of
prototyping it I would think that the use of piezoelectic strips could
be used for this.  When you put a voltage across them, they bend.  The
higher the voltage the more bend.  This could be used inside the glove
in small strips to cover the palm and fingertips.  The voltages used
are rather small.
