Virtual scenarios.

Station Patients explore the Porta Nuova railway station (Turin). They must proceed with the purchase of the railway ticket by providing their personal information, check the train track, and manage possible unexpected events (e.g., the train display board is not working, facing a stranger who is asking for help because he was robbed, and managing the seat occupied by another passenger).

Hotel Patients are in the hotel, they have to check-in, decide how many days to stay, ask for breakfast time, and how to set the alarm clock. They must also decide which room they want and find their way around the hotel. In addition, they must manage possible unexpected events (e.g., a broken glass, a forgotten suitcase, and a mouse in the room).

Restaurant Patients must initially make a phone reservation to reserve a table in the restaurant. At the restaurant, they have to choose what they want from the menu, order from the waiter, and pay the bill. In addition, they must handle possible unexpected events concerning the payment of the bill and the dishes ordered.

Supermarket Patients must shop inside a supermarket with reference to a list of foods. They must, therefore, ask information to the clerks, choose the products, check that they have purchased everything, and go to the cash register. A possible unexpected event is represented by a thief who steals the wallet of an elderly lady. Patients must help the lady by contacting the police.

Amusement park Patients are located inside an amusement park. They must go to the entrance desk, ask for tickets, decide on which rides to climb, and face possible unexpected events (e.g., they lose some objects while getting on the Ferris wheel).

Cinema Patients are watching a movie: “Cinderella”, and they are asked to tell the story and comment on the movie.

Travel Patients must take a trip that will take them on a cruise to Egypt. During the cruise, they will be able to perform various sports (e.g., tennis). In Egypt, they will visit several archaeological sites.
