Term	Desc
Avatar Swap	Hide the default DCL avatar and replace with a custom model.
Avatar Trap	Holds the DCL avatar in place so Infinity Engine can move scene around
CannonJS	Physics engine used: https://github.com/schteppe/cannon.js
Infinity Engine - Code	Collecting of Code that makes the Infinity Engine possible.
Infinity Engine - Concept	DCL scenes have fixed boundaries, putting limits on how big a scene can be. Avatar controls today are somewhat limited. The Infinity Engine adds flexibility to the basic DCL scene boundaries and Avatar controls for a more immersive scene experience.
SkyBox	Hide the default DCL skybox and surround scene with a custom one
Spacial Partition	To optimize managing a large number of objects we break them down into smaller chunks. Read more about the concept here: https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/spatial-partition.html
