Meta Begins Early Access Rollout of Hyperscape Capture on Quest 3 and 3S

The beta processes quick headset scans in Meta’s cloud for hours, keeping creations private until multi-user links arrive.

Overview

  • Availability is limited to users 18 and older and is rolling out gradually starting today, so access may not appear immediately.
  • Room capture takes a few minutes on the headset, then uploads for several hours of cloud processing before the space can be explored.
  • At launch, only the creator can visit a scanned room, with Meta saying shared access via a private link will follow soon.
  • The system uses techniques like Gaussian Splatting along with cloud rendering and streaming to deliver photorealistic replicas.
  • Meta is showcasing prescanned environments including Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen, Chance the Rapper’s House of Kicks, and the UFC Octagon.
