Running a demo

In sequence

• Make sure the game is in the Main Menu
  
• Make sure headset view is being casted to the TV
  
• Show on TV screen that headset and controllers are being tracked
  
• Show them controllers and which button they will need to use ( joysticks )
  
• Ask them person to start "Sailing Terms" level
  
• When done, ask them to go back to the menu, sit down and start "Sail" level
  
• Monitor constantly for troubles or issues or signs that they "are done" and want out.
  
• If they are doing well, consider Race

Out sequence

• Take off the headset ( and plug in for charging if there is time )
  
• Take away controllers
  
• Place headset in a safe spot - make sure lenses are not pointing into direct sunlight - as this will destroy the headset
  
• Thank you for demo - ask them for feedback ( if possible, pass them to a second person to take feedback / debrief, while you prepare the headset for the next person )
  
• Clear the lenses of the headset and wipe cover with hygienic wipes ( wipe controllers also )
