When I was invited to extend my stay at IFA Berlin 2025 to try out the Hypershell X Ultra “exoskeleton” and meet the team behind it, I was excited. In fact, my enthusiasm was so great that I accidentally booked the wrong return date (twice) and had to pay extra to change my flight.
However, the first time I saw it, I was perhaps a little underwhelmed. Admittedly, I was expecting an Iron Man-like suit of fusion-powered armour. But the Hypershell X Ultra isn't that; it's a compact, inconspicuous, and profoundly intelligent piece of technology that truly has to be experienced to be believed.
