applied VR headset
Virtual reality (VR) is a three-dimensional experience created by a headset fitted with a video display. The device, designed to be worn on the face, immerses the viewer in a virtual world and can create a visual distraction from the patient's present situation. We will use a commercially available VR device, comprised of a phone and headset. The phone is inserted into the headset to act as the visual display that can create three dimensional environments. The patient will then choose the virtual reality experience she prefers from the two relaxation programs available. The VR device will be introduced to the participant and fitted to her head prior to the procedure. The device is intended to be worn during the full length of the procedure until the conclusion of the D\&C, however the participant may decide to stop wearing the device and choose to end the VR experience at any time.
