The participant will be able to select between four VR environments: beach, lake, forest, or mountain scenery. Each provides an immersive audio and visual environment designed to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. Each scene is rendered in a high-resolution and life-like fashion which participants can experience in a full 360 degrees. Participants will wear the headset for the duration of the egg retrieval procedure which is approximately 15-20 minutes.
