For anyone that has seen how a distribution center works, you will notice that there are managers zipping to-and-fro the warehouses in chariot-like transportation gadgets. Exmovere Holdings has taken a similar concept but actually attached it to the human body. Riding around on Segways and chariots without it being physically attached to you is old school!
The Exmovere Chariot is controlled by subtle movements made by the hips and lower torso. There are sensors inside the shell which predicts the direction you would like to go based on the body movement. The Exmovere Chariot is powered by batteries and can go up to 12MPH.
And if you get too tired of standing in the Exmovere Chariot, the company is developing a way to switch to a seated position.
Check out a couple more pics after the jump:

This is how heart attacks are fostered.
I thought this was for amputees, and that would be great, but now that I see that it’s not it seems worthless. Also, is that a speaker on the front?
Its so you can bump hot beats as you roll through your hood
Pathetic. Instead of the normal looking business guy they should have had an extremely obese person in it because that’s what it will help promote.
I see one flaw with this design. The waist isn’t big enough for the 68″ lards that will want them the most, like the people that use the “courtesy carts” at the Hell-Mart. The people thin enough to use this are the ones that take care of themselves so they don’t need or want one of these.
Part man, part electric shaver!
FAKE! For so many reasons.
1) Like above no skinny person will use this
2) In all the pictures the back ground is bare of life
3) Look at the wheels imagine trying to turn left or right ( I know it would be poss with some fancy engineering but plz)
Its real. The company sent out a press release about it too.
What do you do if you drop your pen?
Just buy a new one. I’m sure if you have one of these you could probably just toss your pen every time you use it. Then run them over for good measure.
1) Like above no skinny person will use this
Notice the black part, it looks clearly adjustable. And people the size of boats cant really use segways, either.
2) In all the pictures the back ground is bare of life
Because its a photoshoot, dumbass
3) Look at the wheels imagine trying to turn left or right ( I know it would be poss with some fancy engineering but plz)
Have you ever even seen a segway?
Turning left and right is solved by moving on wheel in one direction and another in the opposite.
If you cannot figure that out, you are hopeless.
Do I have to wear pants when using it?
And can you include a toilet in there?
With proper adjustments, it would be rather empowering for disabled people. I,d like to see more information on that aspect. I read it will be able to move to a seating position too. So if you drop your pen, I guess you are in the same position as in a wheel chair.
While the device is real, the listed use is totally false and these promo pictures are a lie. What this is is the lower half of this robot showman suit:

personaly it looks like a large vacume cleaner, put a blower moter and a dust bag inside and let the handicaped people in the office vacume the building while they go about their daily routine.
LOL
