How does it Work?

A strip of hall effect sensors sits on top of the vibe slider, as the magnetic hook is moved across the slider the sensor directly beneath the magnet light up; their state (detecting magnetic or not) is passed to touch designer which then manipulates the visuals based on other inputs from the game controller.
