At the upcoming SXSW Conference… Honda will give attendees a chance to try out a new mobility device… specifically designed for mixed reality entertainment experiences.

Users can steer… without the use of their hands — they simply have to lean into one direction to move forwards, backwards, sideways or diagonally.
