Virtual reality headset 'life-changing' for visually impaired Cardiff City football fan

A report on the BBC Wales News website describes how the loan of a virtual reality (VR) headset enabled Ryder, a young Cardiff City FC fan, to follow the game himself, rather that relying on a commentary from his parents.

The headsets are produced by GiveVision and are currently available at a limited number of sports venues. However, they can be loaned to fans at no charge, and a representative of GiveVision is quoted as saying ""Any fans interested in a loan can contact us and we will happily provide a device."
