The goal of this study is to explore if Virtual Reality helps patients in the cardiothoracic ICU move more and feel better. Participants will be asked to answer a survey about anxiety, depression, and loneliness. The study team will teach participants how to use the VR device and how to play the game. Participants will play the game at least once per day, but can play as much as they want. Study activities include nurse facilitated patient use of VR applications that involve upper body movement (e.g., using arms and hands to dance or hit objects in a virtual reality environment).
