1 Choose the right tools

To test VR experiences on mobile devices, you need to use the right tools and platforms that suit your needs and goals. For example, you can use Unity or Unreal Engine to create and test VR apps and games for Android and iOS devices, as they offer powerful features and support for various VR headsets and controllers. You can also use tools like Google VR Services, Oculus Mobile SDK, or SteamVR to access VR-specific functions and settings, such as tracking, rendering, input, and audio. Additionally, you can use tools like Firebase Test Lab, TestFlight, or App Center to distribute and test your VR apps and games on real devices and get feedback from users.

Mobile VR experiences typically provide users with a limited 3-degree freedom of movement axis, restricting them to the ability to look around. To enhance the Mobile VR experience and enable users to move freely within the virtual space, I discovered a valuable approach: integrating smartphone AR technology, such as ARCore or ARKit. By harnessing the power of the mobile camera, AR technology can accurately gauge the device's position in the physical space. This integration results in a robust tracking system, unlocking the full potential of 6 degrees of freedom for immersive Mobile VR experiences.

2 Optimize performance and compatibility

Testing VR experiences on mobile devices can be a challenge due to the need for high performance and low latency to avoid motion sickness, visual glitches, and poor user experience. To optimize performance and compatibility, you should reduce the size and complexity of your VR scenes and assets, and use compression, occlusion, and LOD techniques. Additionally, you should adjust the resolution, frame rate, and quality settings of your VR app or game according to the device capabilities and battery life, as well as use adaptive performance features to dynamically scale them. Furthermore, testing your VR app or game on various devices and headsets with tools like Android Studio, Xcode, or ADB can help you monitor and debug performance issues such as CPU, GPU, memory, and network usage, frame drops, thermal throttling, and crashes.

In the case of the Unity engine, one thing really helped and that is switching to the use of Entity Component Systems or DOTs, this really helped performance in mobile applications.

3 Collect and analyze user feedback

When testing VR experiences on mobile devices, it's essential to collect and analyze user feedback. This can help you identify and fix usability, accessibility, and design issues, and improve your VR app or game based on user needs and preferences. To do this, you can use a variety of methods and tools. Conduct user testing sessions, interviews, surveys, or focus groups with your target audience and observe their behavior, reactions, comments, and suggestions while using your VR app or game on mobile devices. Additionally, use analytics tools such as Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics, or Oculus Analytics to track user behavior, engagement, retention, and satisfaction metrics like sessions, events, conversions, retention rate, churn rate, and NPS. Finally, use feedback tools such as UserTesting, UserVoice or AppFollow to collect and manage user reviews, ratings, comments and bug reports from various app stores and platforms and to respond and follow up with users.

4 Implement accessibility and inclusion features

Finally, testing VR experiences on mobile devices also involves implementing accessibility and inclusion features, which can enhance the experience for users with different abilities, needs, and backgrounds, and make your VR app or game more diverse and inclusive. To do this, you should provide alternative input and output options, such as voice, gesture, or eye control, haptic feedback, captions, subtitles, or audio descriptions. Additionally, design your VR app or game with clear and intuitive user interfaces, navigation, and interactions. Avoid elements that can cause discomfort, confusion, or exclusion such as fast or sudden movements, flashing lights, complex menus, or stereotypical representations. Testing your VR app or game with users with different abilities is also important. You can use tools like Accessibility Scanner, Accessibility Inspector, or A11yTools to check and improve the accessibility and inclusion of your VR app or game.
