Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that allows the creation of immersive virtual environments. Testing VR applications is challenging due to the almost unlimited possibilites of spacial exploration. This work presents Youkai, a framework for unit testing of Android-based VR applications. Our preliminary results show that our method can find objects on the screen, change camera position and it supports 6 DoF scenarios.
