Main modules

The demo is made up of the following modules:

Module	Description
Avatar	Avatar is a user's virtual representation. In this demo, the avatar is able to perform different poses, such as raising the arm and turning around, based on the data input from the HMD and controllers. Additionally, you can change the color of the avatar.
Virtual Room	The demo provides three rooms: lobby, blue room, and orange room. The three rooms are only different in colors. The lobby is a private room that users join by default after launching the game. Users can join and create other rooms using the launch pad.
Launch Pad	Users can create rooms, join rooms, and check out their friend lists using the launch pad.
Multiplayer	Users can get multiplayer experience, including inviting friends to their current rooms, joining their friends, and more.
