Notably, users reported high satisfaction with the realism of virtual environments, affirming ViRAL’s success in creating engaging and authentic social scenarios. The app’s diverse scenario options and customization capabilities were also well-received, further underscoring its potential as a valuable tool for social skills development in a virtual context. Overall, ViRAL’s performance, user interface, and user engagement collectively contribute to its effectiveness as a transformative platform for enhancing social skills through immersive virtual experiences.
