This virtual reality mask makes viewing virtual reality a more enjoyable experience.

Designed by the technology company Mona -- a subset of the product research studio Planeta -- the 'Mona Mask' comes in different styles that can be customized for comfort. The virtual reality mask is made from cotton and holds the user's smartphone underneath a set of curved lenses that give its goggles their virtual reality function. Magnetic fastenings hold the adjustable headband together and the fabric is machine-washable. The cotton mask comes in different styles and the company will create more printed fabrics -- making this virtual reality headset as stylish as it is functional.

This headset hones in on a virtual reality market that has not yet been focused on -- fashionable headsets that meet both comfort and function standards.
