Honda built a powered chair to zoom around theme parks while wearing an AR headset.

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.

Wall-E. Well done.

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

Man you better watch out if they do that to me, there's going to be vomit everywhere.

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.

But those VR headsets are so heavy and my neck muscles are atrophied from years of playing on my phone
