    How does it work technically? How can a regular iPhone detect different playing figures?

    “Two different sized/shaped batteries/magnets could essentially appear as two different fingers according to the iPhone. Programming should allow for the App to differentiate the different “fingers” as pre-defined figures.” from http://gizmodo.com/5619578/tell-us-how-this-object%20detecting-iphone-game-works-please
