Abstract

The Ambient Intelligence Development Environment (AIDE) tool allows developers of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) solutions to test their projects in a virtual environment. The simulation reduces the onus on systems development in AAL, proving to be an adequate tool for the adoption of agile methodologies in AAL projects. This work presents the implementation of an extension of AIDE that enables designers to test their solutions with the end user through the virtual reality environment. AIDE-VR extends the simulations of the first tool to be used with the end users of the product in an immersive experience through the use of virtual reality.
