Meta introduces Hyperscape to bring real spaces into VR

Meta has begun rolling out Hyperscape Capture in early access, allowing Quest 3 and Quest 3S owners aged 18 and above to scan real-world rooms and turn them into photorealistic virtual spaces.

The feature, first shown at last year’s Meta Connect, uses technologies like Gaussian Splatting, cloud rendering, and streaming, with room scans taking a few minutes and rendering requiring a few hours.

Users will not be able to invite others into their digital spaces at launch, but Meta plans to add this in the future.

Meta is gradually rolling out access, so not all users will see the feature immediately.
