Treatment of social phobia and preparation for lectures, job interviews and examinations

Speaking in front of an audience is one of the greatest fears of all! Whether for presentations, job interviews or examinations: With this scenario you can help your patients in a completely new way.

Description of the scenario

At the start of the scenario, the patients find themselves in the entrance area of the room. The patient walks himself or herself or teleports to the middle of the room by clicking on the controller. In front of them, there are tables set up in a U-shape with 12 people sitting there.

The patient can now begin their lecture. The therapist can trigger different reactions from the audience during this time. Specifically:

• Unrest
• Laughter
• High attention level
• Someone raises a hand to ask a question*

Additional feature

• The therapist can change the scenario with a click, so that the patient is sitting in front of only three people.
• Again, the therapist may have a person raise their hand to ask a question.
• The therapist can also activate a stage scene with hundreds of listeners. The patient can move around on a large stage. The listeners automatically follow their movement and thus maintain eye contact. The reactions described above are also possible here.
• Individual conversations between avatars and patients.
