What you’re looking at here isn’t some sort of torture device. It the ICAROS VR, a unique piece of exercise equipment. It will help you get fit and make you feel like you’re flying at the same time. It’s designed to boost your reflexes, stimulate your muscles, and strengthen your core.
Basically you become a bird, but you have to work hard to keep flying. The exercise is great and all, but really this is just an excuse to soar through the VR skies. Getting fit is just a side benefit.
Sadly, it will workout your purse strings too, as it’s expected to cost about $8000(USD). So if you have the money to burn and the fat, go for it and fly like Superman.
