Steps to reproduce:

It would be super convenient to have simulated VR hardware for easier on-the-go development, testing or if you simply don't have a headset:

* navigator.getVRDevices() to return additional HMDVRDevice.
It would be nice for this to render into a separate preview window (like FFxOS emulator) and have adjustable parameters like FOV, IPD.

* navigator.getVRDevices() to return additional PositionSensorVRDevice.
Can be set via PositionSensorVRDevice.setState({ orientation: orientation, position: position })
Perhaps mouse/keyboard bindings to allow for movement through VR space.
