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 let me think directly about some movie everybody where sitting in wheel chairs with VR glasses. I think it was some kind of animation movie.
