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.

I was all set to link to a wall-e image but I see op beat me to it.

This will be great for folks who need mobility assistance but the rest of us should be walking around, imo.

    Limited leaning, for the people who won't stop trying to walk through virtual walls.
