A little idea utilizing a new level of indirection. You might call it "HoloTile meets Segway". A platform is one square meter (or rather circle) capable of moving in any direction (using conventional wheels). It is covered with HoloTile. A person on it just "walks" on it in any direction and the soft/engine just moves him or her in this direction, but much faster. Probably some self-balancing magic is needed in order to keep the person standing firmly

- Waterluvian 3y agoCall it Disney’s Magic Carpet.

- IggleSniggle 3y agoIf we're talking alternatives, why not roller skates?
- Agraillo 3y agoAbsolutely, that's why a bicycle/kick scooter is better than Segway, at least for your health :). This new tech is interesting. If we forget about the price, in my opinion the design is not that great. Btw, this reminds me of detachable inline skates (Hypno, Doop). While maybe the main function of riding them was ok, they were usually not looking so sexy, especially with the blades off.
