On the Agile Development of Virtual Reality Systems

Processes for Agile software development present an iterative and incremental approach to computer systems, which focus on users’ needs and embraces changes. Virtual Reality projects are strongly tied to rapid evolution of technology, and to the need for clients’ feedback, during the whole project’s life-cycle. In this work, a comparative evaluation of existing methodologies is presented and the application of agile software development methodologies in Virtual Reality projects is argued. Then, a proposal for an agile software development process for Virtual Reality systems is presented and its benefits are discussed.
