Maybe something mobile to test mobile devices?

What is captured during test
Reflector mirrors the mobile device screen in real time
The HUE HD Web Cam captures finger, hand gestures and screen contact
SiverBack records the entire screen. It uses the MacBook Pro to record the audio and iSight camera captures facial expressions.
User’s Expressions.Yep, that’s me.

Easy set up on location in a Shopping Mall.
If tables and chairs are not available choose a portable table the height you would like.
Now get out of the buildingand start testing!
