GAMING Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: AR GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Patients randomized to the AR group will be able to use the iPad and SpellBound app to initiate the AR experiences in the game.
Group II: Non-AR GroupPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Patients allocated to the control group will be able to interact with the iPad and visualize objects and decals in the walls but not able to initiate the AR technology. In other terms, patients in this group will be provided with the same iPad to the AR group patients with the only exception that the AR technology will be off and will only see objects through the device camera in normal reality.
