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 โ€” they simply have to lean into one direction to move forwards, backwards, sideways or diagonally.

I mean, it's not going to happen anyways.

No park would get these, because people would just zoom around the park and wait in huge lines.

They want people walking slow and getting tired so you buy a $10 fountain drink and $15 soft pretzel. The want parents tired and stopping at games/shops for a break and their kid begging for money
