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.
If you zoom in on the photo of the chairs ostensibly “in motion” with the 4 support wheels lifted up and out of the way, the chair is still using little caster wheels underneath that will be a problem. You can see them at the corners.
These sorts of wheels are so problematic that there’s an aftermarket wheel for standard chairs to lift them up off the ground.
