Announced at Meta Connect 2024 on Wednesday, Meta is launching a new VR app called Hyperscape that renders recreations of real-life spaces in high fidelity, so you can explore them while wearing a Quest headset.
Available in beta in the U.S., Hyperscape lets you use a phone to scan a room and then recreate it. Alternatively, you can step into a room that someone else has scanned and shared.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed a “hyperscape” onstage of rock band Green Day’s studio.
“We’re also bringing photorealistic spaces to the metaverse, and we call this hyperscape,” Zuckerberg said. “It’s pretty wild, and we’re planning on just adding more and more over time.”
Hyperscape is compatible with the Quest 3 and Quest 3S.
