Honda introduces a look at the UNI-ONE which is a hands-free electric mobility wheelchair that brings an extended reality experience for users. It will be presented at South by Southwest this year, making its first appearance outside of Japan. It aids users with moving from one point to another as they also experience XR.
This way, they can experience moving through a virtual sky, for example using the technology. Differentiating from a traditional wheelchair, it has high-tech details and is self-balancing to keep an eye level with peers while moving around. This is an intuitive experience - leaning forward to go, leaning back to stop, and shifting weight in various directions for steering. For more control, the UNI-ONE mobility wheelchair adds a joystick to move around without leaning.
