At SXSW this year, people will be able to ride the Honda UNI-ONE while wearing a virtual reality headset and play a choose-your-own VR adventure.

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.

    First thought that comes to mind is ‘collision avoidance’.

      Don’t move fast enough to dodge the dragon? Get hit by a bus. Adds realism.

        I was literally on board a bus that damn near got in a head on with a wrong way driver when I received this.

            It happened again this morning. You should’ve seen the look on the tourists faces when I laughed and said it happens a lot.
