Other Areas of Application
In addition to the Clinical-Health and Corporate / Soft Skills areas, our solutions are structured in other fields of psychological intervention, from schools to wellness and prevention, from sports contexts to penitentiary settings, offering evidence-based experiential tools and adaptable protocols for every setting. We also provide technical support and periodic updates to ensure the effectiveness, continuity, and longevity of the interventions.
Sports Field
Our solutions are aimed at sports psychologists who wish to enhance their interventions with experiential tools based on Virtual Reality. Through dedicated courses and specific protocols, it is possible to integrate the use of Augmented Wellbeing, for reducing pre-competition anxiety and managing performance stress, and Augmented Performance, an innovative immersive biofeedback system that trains concentration, awareness, and emotional regulation in immersive scenarios with the help of specific biosensors.
These technologies can be used in private practices, gyms, sports centers, and professional teams to promote mental recovery, attentional focus, and the psychological resilience of the athlete.
Wellbeing Sector
Our solutions are aimed at wellness psychologists, mental health professionals, and practitioners working in preventive and psychoeducational fields, interested in integrating experiential technological tools into their programs. Through training courses, dedicated protocols, and Virtual Reality apps, it is possible to practically apply Augmented Wellbeing, an evidence-based device for stress regulation and improvement of perceived well-being, Augmented Situations to promote engaging psychoeducation, and Augmented Performance, an immersive biofeedback system for enhancing body and mental awareness.
These tools are applied in health promotion centers, educational contexts, corporate environments, and spaces dedicated to prevention, facilitating deep relaxation and emotional awareness.
School Environment
Our solutions are designed for school psychologists and educators with the aim of promoting well-being, prevention, and emotional literacy. Through training programs and specific protocols, it is possible to use Augmented Wellbeing to support the management of anxiety and stress in students, Augmented Psychology® to enhance emotional awareness during transition periods, Augmented Situations to provide immersive psychoeducational experiences on key topics such as problematic smartphone use and gambling addiction, and Augmented Performance to train concentration and attention focus.
Virtual Reality experiences are adaptable to different school grades and contexts – from guidance to support during critical moments of development – and can be integrated into mental health promotion projects in schools.
Penitentiary Context
Our solutions are aimed at prison psychologists, educators, and operators in the correctional system engaged in promoting well-being and managing emotional dynamics in high-complexity contexts. In particular, Augmented Wellbeing has been effectively used to reduce levels of aggression among inmates and promote emotional regulation. The same tool has also proven useful in supporting the psychological well-being of correctional staff, with a preventive approach to stress and burnout.
Our Virtual Reality experiences provide a safe and engaging environment to facilitate emotional containment processes, while also offering timely opportunities for digital escape.
Pharma and Digital Therapies
We apply as a factory for the construction of immersive applications in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), or mixed reality (MR), designed and developed to be tested and validated as Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), Digital Therapeutics, or Digital Support integrated into patient support programs by specific entities such as research institutes, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, or specialized firms.
Digital Therapeutics (DTx) are evidence-based therapeutic interventions validated by a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial (RCT) in which the active ingredient is not a molecule, but rather software or an algorithm. The treatment of a psychological disorder through traditional medical and pharmacological therapies can thus be integrated with specific software and protocols accessible from various digital devices (smartphones, tablets, wearables, and virtual and augmented reality headsets, etc.).
Digital Support (DS) requires a Decentralized Clinical Trial (DCT) and can be integrated into specific Patient Support Programs (PSP), also in order to promote patient adherence to the therapeutic plan and their active involvement (patient engagement) in the care process.
Field of Research and Neurosciences
In recent years, a growing number of researchers in the field of psychology and cognitive sciences have begun to explore the potential of Virtual Reality as a new experimental paradigm for the study of mental processes.
Virtual Reality offers researchers a new perspective to tackle the issues of experimental control and ecological validity (Gaggioli, 2002; Parson et al., 2017).
Regarding control, it is ensured by the fact that virtual environments are flexible and programmable, and as such, they allow for the presentation of a variety of stimuli in different sensory modalities, as well as measuring and simultaneously recording the behavioral and physiological responses of the participant.
Secondly, both the virtual environment and the way it is modified by the participant's responses can be tailored to the specific needs of the experimental setting.
On the other hand, by using Virtual Reality, it is possible to reproduce virtual environments that recreate the conditions of everyday experience. Therefore, the results of observations made in the virtual environment are more easily generalizable to real life, adhering to the criterion of ecological validity.
Our solutions are highly customized to develop virtual environments with high perceptual realism, suitable for every experimental need. The members of our team have accumulated significant experience in designing 3D environments for research and clinical purposes through collaborations with prestigious research institutions.
For these reasons, we represent the ideal partner for carrying out high-impact scientific projects.
Field of Grants and Partnerships
We provide consulting services to design and create interactive applications that involve the use of Extended Reality (XR) and physiological and neurophysiological biosensing, in order to promote wellbeing and positive change for individuals in clinical, corporate, sports, educational, correctional, wellness, and social contexts.
In fact, psychotechnologies such as Extended Realities integrated with state-of-the-art sensors are well-suited for use in the fields of emotion regulation and emotion rescripting, potentially integrated with psychophysiological intervention methods like biofeedback and neurophysiological methods like neurofeedback.
We also develop smartphone and tablet apps that are entirely hand-drawn, facilitating active learning and psychoeducation, often featured in regional, national, and European calls where we operate as a psychotechnological factory in multidisciplinary and multicultural consortia.
Areas of Immersive Sound Design
Research has confirmed for decades that the auditory system provides a direct pathway for accessing and modifying complex emotions.
Our Augmented Sonorization solutions leverage musical, psychological, and neurophysiological expertise, using specific paradigms and compositional algorithms that allow for the modeling of the timbral, harmonic, and spatial components of sound.
Augmented Sonorization allows for the creation of audio products (soundtracks, musical backgrounds, etc.) that can be tailored for all those contexts or applications that require the promotion of specific emotional or physiological states (for example, concentration, relaxation, activation).
