Virtual device interactive recording

A method for simulating interactions with a physical mobile device through a virtual environment, comprising:

• displaying a virtual device interactive interface representing the physical mobile device;
• accepting a user choice through the virtual device interactive interface;
• traversing a graph of states of the physical mobile deviceto a current state based on the user choice, the current stte previously created in the graph based on a response previously produced by the physical mobile device in response to an actual stimulation of the physical mobile device;
• and
• playing a playback recording asociated with the current state in the virtual environment, the played playback recording replaying an occurrence of the response previously produced by the physical mobile device in response to the actual stimulation of the physical mobile device.

An apparatus for providing recordings of interactions with a physical mobile device for subsequent simulation in a virtual environment, comprising:

• an interface configured for connecting to the physical mobile device;
• one or more processors programmed for:
• selecting a control input to the physical mobile device through the interface,
• generating a recording of an occurrence of a response produced, in response to said stimulation, by the physical mobile device,
• creating a new state in a graph of states of the physical mobile device based on the response,
• storing the generated recording of the occurrence of the response and
• processing the stored recording into a playback recording of the occurrence of said response for the virtual environment.
