 Hey, this is Ben Popper reporting for the Verge from CES 2014. I'm standing here with the Will, which is an advanced wheelchair created by a team of engineers in Japan, folks who previously worked at places like Nissan, Sony, Toyota, and Olympus. There's a lot of interesting components to the Will. First obviously is the design, which is more futuristic than anything I've seen before in a wheelchair. So you notice this arm here folds up to make it easy to get in from the side, and then when you sit down, you just drop this down like this. I turn it on here to power it up. Those lights go blue. So this is the controller here. What's really interesting about this is it's designed to work just like a mouse. So I have 360 degrees of motion here. I can go left, I can go right. And I just started using it a couple minutes ago. It's extremely intuitive. I feel like I'm able to direct it with a lot of certainty, and I can make kind of complex maneuvers. The wheel design, which includes these 24 separate tires, is made so that you can have a really tight turning radius for indoors, and also four-wheel drive so that when you're outdoors, you can go over any kind of terrain. So this is the Will. It'll be available for around $9,500 starting in April. You can place your pre-orders now, and they're going to do a pretty limited run between 50 and 100 units. This is the third prototype, and they're continuing to improve it as they have more and more people test it out.

 There's a lot of interesting components to the Will.
 First obviously is the design, which is more futuristic than anything I've seen before
 in a wheelchair.
 So you notice this arm here folds up to make it easy to get in from the side, and then
 when you sit down, you just drop this down like this.
 I turn it on here to power it up.
 Those lights go blue.
 So this is the controller here.
 What's really interesting about this is it's designed to work just like a mouse.
