-   Enter a name for the Virtual Human that describes the scene. This will be the name learners see when browsing content.
    
-   Select a language for your Virtual Human. This will be the language the Virtual Human will speak and the language your learner will speak. Virtual Humans are available in 18 different languages.
    

## Editing the scenario details

The details page is where we set the scene for our Virtual Human and manage settings.

-   To pick a location for your scenario, navigate to the **Environment** tab in the center of the screen. Here you can select from a set of pre-set environments where your learner will interact with the Virtual Human
    
-   Next click the **Avatar** tab to select the character that will play your virtual human. There's a wide range of avatars to choose from and we are consistently adding avatars to better represent people of different ages, genders, ethnicities, body types, and professions.
    
-   Finally, Select a voice that best suits your Virtual Human. Click preview to listen to a short sound-byte. Voices labeled **realistic** will sound more natural but may cause the response to be slower. Voices labeled **high performance** will sound less natural, but the responses will be quicker.
    
-   Add a **description** to your Virtual Human. This description is the brief shown to the learner before they complete their scenario. It should inform the learner about their role, the scenario, and the objective.

### **Virtual Human Settings**

Finally, there are a few settings, you can adjust.

-   Enter an Admin Title that will be used for your L&D team's reference.
    
    > **Example:**
    > 
    > Virtual Human Name: Meeting with Chris
    > 
    > Admin Title: Unconscious Bias Lesson 1.
    > 
    > By giving the Virtual Human these two titles, you avoid revealing too much information about the scenario to learners, but also can stay organized internally.
    
-   You can set a time limit for your scenario. This will show a countdown for the learner, and end the session when the time expires.
    

> **Tip:** Set a time limit to give learners a sense of urgency and keep them on task.
> 
> **Example:** Setting a time limit can be helpful in sales scenario or a nursing scenario, where time is limited and efficiency is critical.
> 
> **Best Practice:** We recommend keeping your scenarios to about 5-15 minutes so they are short and engaging, especially if your learners will be using a VR Headset.

-   Toggle on **Hide Scores from Users** if you don't want your learners to be stressed about getting a high score.
