You can now turn new Horizon Hyperscape captures into unlisted Horizon Worlds, letting you invite friends to join you in them as Meta Avatars.<\/p>\n

Launched<\/a> at Connect 2025, Meta’s Horizon Hyperscape Capture app for Quest 3 and Quest 3S lets you use your headset to scan a real-world environment, such as a room, to create a photorealistic virtual copy that you can visit in VR.<\/p>\n

The Hyperscape scanning process takes between 5 and 10 minutes, during which you need to walk around the scene while wearing the headset, and it’s followed by between 1 and 8 hours of processing on Meta’s servers, depending on the complexity of the capture.<\/p>\n

Hands-On: Meta Horizon Hyperscape Captures Photorealistic VR Scenes On Quest 3<\/p>\n

Meta Horizon Hyperscape, rolling out now in the US, lets you capture a real-world scene with your Quest 3 or Quest 3S and visit it in VR with photorealistic graphics.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At launch, Horizon Hyperscape was a solo experience, and you couldn’t share your captures with others. It was also cloud rendered, requiring a very strong and stable internet connection at all times.<\/p>\n

Now, just over two months later, Meta is “rolling out” an overhaul of the technology.<\/p>\n

Instead of creating cloud-rendered captures only accessible within the app, Hyperscape now creates a special kind of Horizon Worlds destination, a Hyperscape world. While the initial processing is still done on Meta’s servers, after this Hyperscape worlds are rendered on-device in VR, via the Horizon Engine<\/a> that also powers Quest’s new Immersive Home<\/a> and Horizon Central.<\/p>\n

Once a new Hyperscape world finishes processing, you’ll see Invite and Share buttons, with the latter generating a URL that you can send to friends.<\/p>\n

People with the link can join the Hyperscape world in VR from a Quest 3 or Quest 3S, or in flatscreen on a smartphone in the Meta Horizon app, and you can reset access to the link at any time, according to Meta.<\/p>\n

For example, here are links to Gordon Ramsay\u2019s home kitchen<\/a>,\u00a0Chance the Rapper\u2019s live room<\/a>,\u00a0Happy Kelli’s Crocs room<\/a>, and UFC Apex<\/a> as joinable Hyperscape worlds.<\/p>\n

\"\"Generic depiction of the Horizon Hyperscape social update from Meta.<\/p>\n

Hyperscape worlds currently support up to 8 people per instance, and Meta says it “hopes” to increase that number in future.<\/p>\n

As with all Horizon Worlds, for people joining on smartphones the experience will continue to be cloud-rendered. The on-device rendering is for VR only.<\/p>\n

UploadVR plans to test the new social Hyperscape experience as soon as we can, and we’ll bring you footage and impressions once we do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You can now turn new Horizon Hyperscape captures into unlisted Horizon Worlds, letting you invite friends to join…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":192195,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[260],"tags":[18,19,17,82,286,287,288],"class_list":{"0":"post-192194","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-virtual-reality","13":"tag-virtualreality","14":"tag-vr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115586598848742596","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
