That's the viral marketing video going around, yes? It's fake, but has anyone figured out what it's actually supposed to be promoting?

Yeah, that video looks questionable at the very least. If it were legit, a question running in my mind was about the power supply, duration of said power supply, and just how the thing would actually work like that.
In answer to the OP, if the GM is nice you can use the stats presented in Rigger 4. Otherwise the answer is the levitation spell.

Ahhh... you must have missed the mention of the Gyrostabilization technology.

Does it also have the magical ability to add rigidity to people's bodies when their feet are at 90 degrees to their body and they aren't moving? That's some clever tech!

Wave of the future, Man.

It is those Microgravity Generators... they always give you "Down" no matter what position your body is in. They are also an integral component of the Gyrostabilization tech.

I have it on good authority that those gyrostabilizers are made of only the finest of Handwavium alloys...

I have heard that as well, though I am not sure how reliable my source is.

It's a career boost/PR stunt of several second row and/or fading American celebrities.

My understanding is they will be produced in very small numbers. The Unobtainium in the power cells and the Handwaivium in the gyrostabilizers is very hard to come by. Of course if they raid CGL headquarters they will have all the Handwaivium they could ever use, but the Unobtainium will still be a problem.

So, time to start mining other planets full of blue aliens then?
Btw if wiping out the na'vi means we get hoverboards then it's totally fine with me.

Well, you need the power of Cloud Computing to align the stabilizers correctly.

Wow... that wireless is doing more than double duty apparently. But you are right. They need the wireless to keep the batteries powered up.
