10) Dillon and Dwight - Final Video

Scoots is an infrared motion tracking spotlight designed to follow users with an infrared wearable tech. Scoots adds a dynamic element to stage performances and presentations without needing a spotlight operator.

The Final Video

Scoot's spherical design allows for a seamless 360 range of motion, giving the illusion of the head gliding over the body.

Infrared sensors on the head piece track the user's motion in each direction.

The simple design keeps the complex inner workings from view to create a sleek aesthetic.
