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.
This would be a great idea for wheelchair users, since I imagine being in a crowd of people at waist level detracts a bit from the experience you’d get by walking. But if everyone is able to use these chairs, it’ll just cause more congestion.
