PhanTom Flyer
The Scooby Doo Phantom Flyer utilizes Rehco LLC patented auto-hover technology to create a unique, interactive play experience. Through information collected via a downward facing IR sensor, this hover-balloon can detect nearby surfaces and objects, auto-adjusting hover height based upon proximity. Scooby Doo Phantom Flyer was invented and developed by Rehkemper Invention & Design LLC, and licensed by Brix N Clix, as well as Character Options.
As an industrial designer / toy inventor at Rehkemper Invention & Design LLC, I worked within the constraints of existing auto-hover technology to develop Scooby Doo Phantom Flyer. I worked with an internal team of mechanical and electrical engineers to design initial concept models in SolidWorks, build “works-like” rapid prototypes to test functionality and play pattern, then moved into building full-scale, “works-like looks-like” prototypes for licensor approval.
