Abstract

Here we present the SimCon tool to enable evaluators of pervasive applications to rapidly place and configure context sources within a Virtual Reality Environment to conduct repeatable evaluations early in the development life cycle.

Keywords: Pervasive computing ubiquitous computing context-aware computing user-centred design and evaluation 3D virtual environment.
