To interact with the Omega Mart Spiral Cuff Health Metrics Machine, participants insert their arm into a flashing ring of LEDs in order to grab use a joystick with an embedded heart rate sensor. Toggling the joystick and button allows them to play and arcade game selecting between ailment images in order to receive information related to their metaphysical health.
