How to download and setup the DEMO project for the first time

After you have installed AVA360VR and downloaded the demo package zip files, you need to unzip the demo package since it contains all the files you need to try out a real example of a project.

The pre-prepared projects contain open data that are public under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license. The Lego demo project that is included in the package uses audio-visual data that is derived from our open Lego Project Data Archive, which is described in this published academic article.

It is best to unzip this package to a fast SSD drive (internal or external). The demo package is huge (approx. 5 GB) so you will need plenty of free storage.

The top folder will be the initial location of your MY PROJECTS. Under this folder you will see more folders for six projects: HELP, HELP2, HELP3, PROBLEMS, CREATING-PROJECTS, LEGO-DEMO.

To load the welcome and introduction, then from the main menu in AVA360VR choose the load option. Then browse for the analysis version called welcome-001 in the HELP project after you have switched to the location of your DEMO PACKAGE folder (that you unzipped after downloading the demo package). You will learn how to load other help tutorials. We recommend the getting-started tutorial, and those on how to use the controllers, playback, window controls and navigation.

After you have tried some help tutorials in VR, you can load the LEGO-DEMO demonstration project that contains lots of audio-visual data. From the main menu in AVA360VR choose the load option. Then browse for the analysis version called lego-demo1-001 in the LEGO DEMO project in the DEMO PACKAGE folder.
