Fieldays has opened at Hamilton's Mystery Creek, with 100 thousand visitors expected over the next four days. 

1200 vendors will be plying their wares at the Southern Hemisphere's largest agribusiness event, displaying the latest farming innovations. 

GFactor Edge co-founder Rhys Gardner is bringing his company’s VR driving simulators to the event – the technology allowing people to learn how to drive heavy machinery in a controlled environment. 

He told Ryan Bridge they’re recreating real accidents and near misses and allowing people to experience the outcomes of their decisions.
