Discover how VirtualSociety enhances the lives of neurodivergent individuals and promotes relaxation through an inclusive game
VirtualSociety has been specifically designed to provide a safe and inclusive environment for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In this game, social interactions are encouraged progressively, allowing players to learn to engage with others without pressure, while developing essential emotional skills. With constant accessibility and the removal of barriers, made possible by incorporating gaming UI and UX standards, VirtualSociety offers a seamless and user-friendly experience for everyone.
We engage with autistic individuals and their families to create scenarios that help players recognize and manage their emotions and those of others. The virtual nature of these activities provides a safe space where everyone can practice facing real social situations at their own pace.
Players can interact in an adapted virtual environment, without the immediate challenges of real life. They can join gaming groups, participate in events, or simply chat with other players, thereby strengthening their social skills.
Through interactive stories and diverse characters, players learn to identify a wide range of emotions, enhancing their understanding of others and themselves.
The game allows players to learn and practice daily routines in a fun and soothing setting, a key skill for those on the autism spectrum.
Overcoming phobias can be a challenging process in real life, but VirtualSociety offers a gradual and safe approach to help players manage their fears and anxieties. By incorporating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques and working with psychology experts, the game allows players to face anxiety-provoking situations without unnecessary stress, in a controlled and supportive environment.
The scenarios offered in VirtualSociety enable players to confront their fears at their own pace. Whether it's phobias related to crowds, heights, or unfamiliar places, players can gradually overcome these obstacles by repeating experiences in a risk-free, game-like environment.
Players can choose the level of difficulty and the frequency of exposure to situations they find challenging, such as crowds or confined spaces, adjusting it according to their comfort.
We use cognitive-behavioral therapy methods to help players reduce anxiety progressively and safely.
VirtualSociety provides an environment where players can face their fears without the immediate consequences of the real world, creating a space of trust and well-being.
At Cats & Foxes, we are committed to helping each VirtualSociety player get the most out of what we offer. This is why we have dedicated a part of the wellness area to well-being and relaxation. This space offers a variety of activities, from guided meditation sessions to breathing exercises, allowing players to recentralize themselves and reduce their anxiety levels. Each activity is designed to foster a sense of calm and serenity, contributing to a more balanced and enriching gaming experience.
Art therapy and meditation spaces are accessible to everyone, free of charge. These creative areas encourage self-expression and relaxation, allowing players to explore their emotions through artistic activities and mindfulness practices. Whether through drawing, painting, or mindfulness meditation, each participant can find a way to relax and relieve daily stress, while benefiting from community support.
All players can enjoy these spaces at no cost, promoting inclusivity and collective well-being.
A range of options is offered, from meditation to art workshops, to cater to the needs and preferences of each individual.
