## Dear Creators, Introducing... the (Beta) Mirror prop!
- The dorm room mirror you know and love has been repackaged as the Mirror prop with a minimal, recolorable frame and configurable physics modes.
- All mirrors (the Mirror prop, the dorm room & rec center mirrors, etc.) are now fully supported on Oculus Quest. No more solid color background!

Please note that to make the Mirror prop possible, we've had to put some protections in place:
- Why? Mirrors are quite costly in terms of performance. There's no way around this.
- While the mirror is in beta, its ink cost is slightly over 50%. We will reassess ink cost when it comes out of beta.
- There can only be 1 mirror per room. E.g. if you can't spawn a Mirror in your dorm since there's already a mirror there!
- Reminder that to use a beta prop, you must enable beta content in your room settings.
