Building Brain 4.0

The new version of Building Brain, which does not directly improve on the application itself, is a simulation, and more specifically, a fast and cheap test environment for the Android app’s features. The simulation will provide the project owner with a flexible experiment that can simulate an entire day of energy usage behavior in under 5 minutes. The use of the Oculus Rift will provide the user/subject with a more immersive experience that not only feels more real, but blocks out any peripheral vision that could suspend disbelief.
