Overview

• The beta Hyperscape Capture app is rolling out gradually to Quest 3 and Quest 3S owners aged 18 and over, letting users scan rooms in minutes with cloud rendering that completes in hours.
• At launch, captured spaces are private to the creator, with multi‑user visits via shareable private links coming soon, according to Meta.
• The system uses techniques like Gaussian Splatting with cloud rendering and streaming; early demos look convincing but remain static and can lose fidelity at close range.
• Meta also introduced Horizon Engine and Horizon Studio with generative AI to accelerate world building, with agentic AI assistants planned, plus a fall games slate featuring Marvel’s Deadpool VR, ILM’s Star Wars: Beyond Victory, Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, and Reach.
• Horizon TV consolidates apps including Disney+, Hulu, ESPN, Prime Video, Peacock, and Twitch, supports Dolby Atmos now with Dolby Vision coming later, and adds immersive 3D effects through Universal/Blumhouse partnerships along with a limited Avatar: Fire and Ash 3D clip.
