Outline of Research at the Start	[Problem] Development of communication protocols and applications running on micro-controller unit (MCU) based radio transceivers is often a slow and complex process compared to other type of networks because limitations in the existing tools. [Solution] Create a novel tool in which network engineers can quickly develop and test new communication protocols and applications using simple virtual reality (VR) interfaces. [Impact] Establish a platform in which future MCU based wireless networks elements can be quickly tested and easily understood.
