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.
There’s a really cool episode of the podcast Factually touching on what you’re talking about.

(Side note, I’ve never seen this website but I really dig that it has question and answer summaries on the bottom. That was super cool.)
Edit: also, as somebody who is disabled who can’t lean forward without intense pain, these wheelchairs would be hell.
