Summary

In this chapter, we learned about networking concepts and architecture, and used some of the many features of Unity's own multiplayer networking system. We built a simple scene and an avatar, keeping in mind that the intent was to allow the avatar's head movement to be synchronized with the player's head-mounted display.

We then converted the scene to multiplayer, adding the Unity Network components, which simplified the multiplayer implementation to just a handful of clicks.

Next, we added virtual reality to the multiplayer experience, first by using Unity's built-in support for the Oculus Rift and then by adding Google Cardboard support for Android.

Finally, I showed you how easy it is to create a virtual room in the VRChat metaverse by exporting a scene that you can share almost instantly.
