From 2 to 5 February, it's time to discover, enjoy, taste, try out and network for the second time at the Man's World. The men's fair, which is not really a fair, but a huge playground and tasting area, was extremely well received last year, as evidenced by various Media reports testify. And even if everything revolves around men, women are also welcome at Man's World.
More than 100 brands and attractions on over 4,500 m2 are coming together this year. Visitors to Man's World should be able to experience something, taste something or compete. The Stage-One Event Hall in Örlikon is perfect for such worlds of experience and of course there is also space for virtual worlds.

Microsoft invites you on a virtual tour

Open the goggles and switch on the switches at Microsoft's Feel @ Home cube. Under the motto Digital Innovation, visitors can immerse themselves in virtual reality and move through strange worlds on four square metres. Those who prefer a more cosy atmosphere can join the Microsoft experts for a virtual tour.

Fighter jet flying with Fly & Race

For those who like more action and are a little more daring, a replica F/A 18 cockpit awaits. The Fly & Race Team presents itself at this year's Man's World with its Europe-wide unique novelty, the F/A-18 flight simulator. All Fly & Race crew members are active or former Swiss/Swissair captains or hold a pilot's licence. So they know what it's all about. If you dare, you can use VR goggles under the guidance of the professionals to experience first-hand what it means to fly a fighter jet at supersonic speed through the Swiss Alps. You can get an impression of what the replica cockpits look like in the promotional video.
If you really want to get that fighter jet pilot feeling and can't make it to this year's Man's World, you can also have the VR experience in Zurich at Europa Alle. Fly & Race Simulations offers customised flight and race simulator experiences for individuals and groups, as well as corporate events. The unique VR experience is available there for CHF 189 per hour. However, the replica F/A 18 cockpit will not be available during Man's World, as it will be dismantled for the trade fair. A test report on the simulator will follow soon.
