Using CapSense to sense something other than a finger

I found a forum post that indicates one can increase the sensitivity of CapSense to detect a finger inside a glove.

How would a developer detect (for example) a felt pad or a voltage biased metal probe moved into "contact" with a CapSense button or slider? What approach would you take to experiment with this concept using the -001 DVK?

Thanks and regards
