Experience library
Choose an existing experience as a starting point instead of rebuilding the whole scenario.
Health & social care
VirtualSociety helps care teams build their own interactive experiences
Care teams can start with an existing VirtualSociety experience, adapt it to their patients and protocols, then share or reuse it without commissioning a new tool every time.
Patient education in practice
Leo the Wolf helps children get used to aerosol therapy
Built with the cystic fibrosis team and patient education unit at Nancy University Hospital, Leo guides children through the equipment and steps of aerosol therapy in a familiar setting. The team can use it during an education session or before treatment.
- Understand the role of equipment and care steps
- Practise the steps in order
- Give the child, family, and care team something concrete to discuss
Start with what exists, then make it yours
A team can adapt an existing experience to its own patients, setting, and protocol, then update it or share it with colleagues.
No-code editor
Change the content, steps, instructions, characters, settings, or cues without commissioning a new build for every variation.
Works across devices
Run an experience on a computer, tablet, or phone, with VR when it adds value. VirtualSociety Online provides a lighter browser-based option.
For the situations care teams encounter every day
Explain a procedure, prepare for a visit, practice a routine, ease apprehension, or train a team with something more flexible than a leaflet or video.
Customization
Adapt an existing experience to your protocol, vocabulary, audience, and setting.
Less time rebuilding
Build on work that already exists, so you can test and refine an idea sooner.
Engagement
Interactivity can hold attention and make unfamiliar steps or situations easier to understand.
Simple to share
Experiences can be shared easily across teams and launched from any computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Autism, phobias, and anxiety: gradual, pressure-free experiences
Beyond patient education and training, VirtualSociety can provide controlled spaces for learning, graded exposure, and becoming familiar with difficult situations.
Health & social care
Our mission
Make therapeutic tools easier to approach and use, with characters and settings in which more people can see themselves.
Test your limits!
Autism
Practicing social situations at your own pace
VirtualSociety can recreate social situations in a controlled setting, giving autistic people time to explore them without the pressure of an immediate real-world response.
Familiar controls and clear visual cues help make the experience easier to approach and navigate.
We speak with autistic people and their families when developing scenarios around emotions and social situations. Because the setting is virtual, each person can pause, repeat, and progress at their own pace.
What this can support
Social situations without immediate pressure
Players can join a group, take part in an event, or have a conversation in a setting where they have more time to respond.
Emotion recognition
Interactive stories and varied characters provide material for recognizing and discussing emotions.
Routine development
Everyday routines can be broken into steps and repeated in a calm setting.
Phobias
Working on phobias gradually
VirtualSociety can recreate a difficult situation in a controlled setting, with the intensity adjusted step by step.
Scenarios can be developed with psychologists around cognitive behavioral therapy principles, so exposure follows a deliberate progression.
Scenarios involving crowds, heights, confined spaces, or unfamiliar places can be repeated without the practical constraints of visiting the real location each time.
What this can support
Gradual exposure
The difficulty and frequency can be adjusted for situations such as crowds or confined spaces.
CBT-based approach
Scenarios can follow a progression defined with a therapist using cognitive behavioral therapy principles.
Pressure-free practice
A virtual setting lets people pause, repeat, or stop without the immediate consequences of the real situation.
Anxiety
Reducing anxiety
VirtualSociety includes a wellness area where players can step away from other activities and take a quieter moment.
It brings together guided meditation, breathing exercises, and creative activities that people can use at their own pace.
The art and meditation spaces are free to access. They offer simple ways to draw, paint, practice mindfulness, or unwind alongside other members of the community.
What is available
Accessibility
Every player can use these spaces at no cost.
Varied activities
Players can choose between meditation, breathing exercises, and creative workshops.

Learn moreWhat makes VirtualSociety different
Teams are not locked into a finished piece of content. They can adapt an experience, reuse it, and share it with colleagues.
Care teams can make changes themselves
Start from an existing experience, change the scenario, and keep improving it without a full production cycle every time.
The real setting shapes the experience
Gestures, places, instructions, and practical constraints come from the situation the team actually works in.
Content can be shared across teams
An experience made for one team can give another team a head start, then be adapted to its own context.
Straightforward to test and run
Experiences are meant to be easy to test, share, and launch without adding avoidable technical work.
Who is it for?
VirtualSociety is for teams that need an interactive tool they can adapt to their own work.
Healthcare institutions and hospital teams
For patient education, preparation, practicing care routines, and support along a care pathway.
Social care organizations and services
To prepare for situations, make an unfamiliar setting easier to understand, or support everyday work.
