VR Testing Made Simpler and More Accessible, with GameDriver’s Latest Update
Testing games and applications for XR devices, such as the Meta Quest or Valve Index, has many complex challenges. Having to put on the headset whenever functionality and features need to be validated can be time-consuming and prone to errors and omissions. For testers, the long in-game sessions mean that it’s not a matter of “if” they will experience vertigo or nausea; it’s “when”, making it inaccessible. Fortunately, GameDriver has the solution.
GameDriver™ — a leader in automation solutions in the gaming, AR, and VR industries — recently released GameDriver 2022.07, the latest update for their flagship software. Today, the software developer is sharing its latest video, a deep dive into one of the update’s most exciting features: Simulated XR Support.
The 2022.07 release of GameDriver includes support for simulating inputs from XR devices such as the Meta Quest or Valve Index. Using the GameDriver testing SDK, testers and developers can add virtual XR devices to the project during the test, and send commands to those devices to simulate input as if the user was wearing the device! Overall, this update will improve the quality of both XR experiences and their respective QA processes in equal measure.
All of this adds up to valuable time saved during testing, precise and consistent repeatable execution, and improved time to market!
