Abstract
An example method of testing Augmented Reality (AR) applications is described. In an example implementation, the method includes initiating an AR application that is targeted for testing. The example method further includes controlling a physical model to simulate movement of a simulated device in a simulated real-world space. The simulated movement of the physical model generates data for testing the AR application. In some implementations, the method may further include initiating the AR application to run on a device simulator and using a virtual environment.
Claims22
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- initiating, on a computing device, an augmented reality (AR) application targeted for testing;
- and
- controlling a physical model to simulate movement of a simulated device in a simulated real-world space, the simulated movement of the physical model generating data for testing the AR application.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer executable program code which, when executed on a computer system, causes the computer system to perform operations, comprising:
- initiating an augmented reality (AR) application targeted for testing;
- and
- controlling a physical model to simulate movement of a simulated device in a simulated real-world space, the simulated movement of the physical model generating data for testing the AR application.
A device simulator, comprising:
- a physical model;
- simulated sensors;
- and
- user controls,
- the device simulator being configured to initiate an augmented reality (AR) application targeted for testing,
- the physical model configured to simulate movement of a simulated device in a simulated real-world space, the simulated movement of the physical model generating data for testing the AR application, and
- the simulated sensors receiving the generated data from the physical model and sharing with an AR tracking system.
