The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if active virtual reality is more effective than passive virtual reality and standard of care distraction in decreasing pain in children, from 8 to 21 years old, undergoing intravenous placement in emergency department. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer \[is/are\]: * Will active virtual reality reduce pain score on Faces Pain Scale - revised and measure of heart rate during intravenous placement for children ages 8 years old to 21 years old more than passive virtual reality and standard of care? * Will active virtual reality reduce anxiety score on Visual Analog Scale - revised and measure of heart rate during intravenous placement for children ages 8 years old to 21 years old more than passive virtual reality and standard of care? If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare active group to passive group and standard of care. Participants will randomized into active virtual reality, passive virtual reality or standard of care arms.

Mean Change from Baseline in Pain Scores on Faces Pain Scale - Revised after IV Placement
Pain score on Faces Pain Scale - Revised will be assessed 5 minutes before and immediately after procedure. The minimum score is 0, and the maximum score is 10. Higher scores correlate to a worse outcome (more pain).
Time frame: 5 minutes before, immediately after procedure
Mean Change from Baseline in Anxiety Scores on Visual Analog Scale after IV Placement
Anxiety score on Visual Analog Scale will be assessed 5 minutes before and immediately after procedure. The minimum score is 0, and the maximum score is 100. Higher scores correlate to a worse outcome (more anxiety).
Time frame: 5 minutes before, immediately after procedure
Mean Change from Baseline in Heart Rate after IV Placement
Heart Rate will be measured 5 minutes before, during, and immediately after procedure
Time frame: 5 minutes before, during, and immediately after procedure
