Prototype of a wheelchair we developed. The base moves in any direction while the seat remains facing one direction. The seat can also rotate while the base stays fixed, allowing the person operating the wheelchair complete freedom to access any environment more easily.

  • That's the w/c I need in my shop. I have so little room and turning my big power chair in there is a pain. Your chair kicks @ss. :-)

  • LOL, now attach a vacuum! & LMAO @ Strafing WC's ya think the military will enlist WC user now? Ya right! jk (User of a WC, so I can poke fun!)

  • Exactly. Seniors make up the majority of wheelchair owners.

  • Like, totally awesome! Yes, it could be a great camera dolly. Make a version with foot-operated controls & appropriate camera-mounting attachments. This would leave the cinematographer's hands free to operate the camera.  Way to go, babes!

  • any body think this woud be a great alternative for moving around a camera for motion shots? as oposed to walking it

  • grandma can't drive the thing she already has.

  • very interesting

  • not as cool as airtrax...or...prototype this' wheel couch.

  • Ever since I started using a powerchair I always thought it would be cool for it to be omnidirectional... I can't believe they actually created a prototype!

  • Now wheelchairs can strafe!
