The Virtual Reality system (PlayStation 4 VR, Sony Inc.) is a simple and easy to use distraction device. The system consists of a screen mounted on a binocular headset connected to a console or personal computer. The head-mounted display provides a high-resolution visual display and unmutes the sound from the headphones using a soundproof mechanism that provides clear sound.
