There are two basic approaches to making novel/custom widgets accessible to assistive tech, and one of them is usually wrong:
1. accesibly describe the mechanics and visual presentation;
2. accesibly convey the functional interactions and purpose.
If you find yourself thinking "I need an aria-live region to explain this" then the chances are -- you don't -- you need to conceptually shift from 1 to 2. Live regions are the last resort.
