Abstract
The latest events related to the spread of the Covid-19 virus have seen the rise of new social needs in countries like Italy, especially regarding the most vulnerable individuals. The emergency highlighted the insufficiency of some traditional methods of psychological support for that part of the population concretely facing the risk of social isolation. This research aims to discuss an innovative methodology that, by exploiting information and communication technologies (ICT) resources, combines the need to protect the vulnerable population with the need to prevent their social isolation, by intervening on the psychological well-being of users most at risk. In particular, we want to evaluate the feasibility of a Cross Reality (XR) project that combines the technologies of Virtual, Mixed and Augmented Reality with the most consolidated therapeutic methods of Mindfulness and Art Therapy.
