The advantage of the fingertips is that they're sensitive and especially, they're extremely mobile. I imagine that if the sensors were mounted on the fingertips of a glove, on the back of the hand and pointed orthogonally to the plane of the hand, it would be fairly natural to develop a sort of "saccadic hand movement" to get a rapid perception of the surroundings.
