It began with the idea to simulate wingsuit flight: The Icaros is a device that lets you control your flight by balancing your entire body. Together with advanced VR technology, this is probably the closest you get to flying while staying in your living room or a gym. It so turned out though that the Icaros has potential that goes far beyond enjoying virtual flights: it is an excellent full-body workout tool, and because it stresses body coordination and sense of balance, it is a unique rehab tool e.g. for stroke patients.
In the Design & Science exhibition space, you can try the Icaros as long as you want. Don your virtual wingsuit and fly through the Berchtesgaden Alps or the Engadin!
