Key moments
- 0:00 The sensor tracks an initial area of interest (AARO).
- 0:09 The sensor disengages from its previous area of focus and pans from right to left to track two areas of contrast, narrowing the field-of-view to zoom in while panning to maintain the objects' positions generally within the center of the frame (AARO).
- 0:17 The sensor widens its field-of-view to zoom out, keeping the areas of contrast generally centered within the display (AARO).
- 1:04 The sensor field-of-view rapidly cycles between levels of zoom, causing the areas of contrast to appear to rapidly increase and decrease in size (AARO).
