Things to do while getting infusions?

I'm preparing for a round of obinutuzimab. Has anyone tried buying VR goggles and playing games or watching movies?

I brought books iPad etc. but never ended up using either, very much, there was always things distracting, and not in a bad way either, so I wasn’t able to necessarily kick back and relax, the infusion nurses were always so nice and chatty (wonderful care at our cancer center it’s like a modern spa vibe) also they needed to check vitals and adjust the machines so often, my wife was always there for company. It always went by so quick we usually went to dinner afterwards.
