Abstract

A sensor system may include an object, a magnet, and a magnetic sensor. The magnet may be connected to the object such that a center of the magnet is offset from an axis of the object. The magnetic sensor may include a first three-dimensional (3D) sensing pixel and a second 3D sensing pixel. The magnetic sensor may be arranged such that the first 3D sensing pixel and the second 3D sensing pixel are at different distances from a tilt point of the object. The magnetic sensor may be arranged such that the first 3D sensing pixel and the second 3D sensing pixel are at different distances from the center of the magnet.
