DonBurroni is correct, this will have to be done via motionbuilder. There's not a way in Arena to do this.
If you have access to motionbuilder, I can get with one of my contacts that has integrated the gloves with other mocap systems, that could help.

I think the gloves have their own capture application, correct? you might have to resort to simultaneous captures (probably not on the same pc though) and marrying the data afterwards.
