I'm thinking a GUI app that you use sliders, toggle buttons, etc, and to replay previously recorded sensor values. But you could use it to simulate mobile sensors on desktop devices. 

There is a simulator backend. There was a gui app to flick the sensors data, but that was never open sourced. I am not sure of the state of that. Someone internal to qt company might know. Alex Blasche? 

There is an old MR to remove it although, which hasn't been pushed.
