Summary

This study explores whether virtual reality (VR) can help patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) feel more relaxed, improve their mood, and keep their minds active. About 32 adults with serious breathing problems or sepsis will use VR for 15-45 minutes each day for up to 5 days. The goal is to see if VR is easy to use and helpful for patients during their hospital stay.
