1. A method of providing diversionary therapy to a patient during a treatment using a device having a display screen which displays digital content relating to a three-dimensional environment, the method including the steps of:

  • monitoring movement of the device produced by the patient; and

    altering the digital content displayed on the screen based on the monitored movement of the device,wherein the patient is able to interact with the three-dimensional environment by moving the device, the interaction providing a distraction to the patient from the treatment; and

    wherein the device has a pair of opposed handgrips on the housing which are oriented along an axis skew to an axis dividing upper and lower regions of the display screen whereby said skew orientation of the handgrips prompts the patient to immediately rotate the device thereby causing movement which alters the digital content.
