technology for everyday use.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">Over the past 15 years, the technology and accessibility, as well as the wide-spread application of VR, has progressed immensely. Although originally designed for entertainment purposes, the potential use of VR in medicine is rapidly expanding.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">We have shown that virtual reality can easily
