1. Introduction
At Meta Connect 2025, while much attention was placed on the launch of new smart glasses, the company also unveiled important updates for the metaverse. The standout announcement was the wider rollout of Hyperscape, Meta’s tool for creating highly photorealistic virtual environments.
This move signals a step forward in making immersive digital experiences more accessible—not just for gamers, but also for creators, marketers, and entrepreneurs exploring the metaverse’s potential.
2. Hyperscape: Redefining Photorealistic VR Spaces
Early Access and Room Capture
Meta revealed that Hyperscape Capture is entering Early Access. Quest device owners can now scan a physical room in minutes, which is then transformed into a digital replica. While rendering takes several hours, the results are strikingly lifelike.
Initially, users won’t be able to invite others into their virtual spaces. However, Meta confirmed that private link-sharing will soon be available, opening up opportunities for collaborative and social experiences.
Featured Worlds and Use Cases
Already, Hyperscape has been used to recreate unique environments, such as:
Gordon Ramsay’s home kitchen in Los Angeles
Chance the Rapper’s House of Kicks
UFC’s Octagon in Las Vegas
Happy Kelli’s colorful Crocs collection room
These examples highlight the marketing and entertainment potential of immersive spaces.
3. How Hyperscape Works: The Tech Behind the Scenes
The technology relies on Gaussian Splatting, cloud rendering, and streaming to bring photorealistic environments to devices like the Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S. Initially demoed last year, this rollout is now available to users aged 18+ in a gradual release.
4. Metaverse Entertainment Expands
VR Gaming Lineup for Fall
Meta also announced a fresh wave of VR games, including:
Marvel’s Deadpool VR
Star Wars: Beyond Victory by ILM
Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked
Reach
Horizon TV and Streaming Partnerships
Horizon TV continues to grow with support for Disney+, ESPN, and Hulu. Partnerships with Universal Pictures and Blumhouse will bring immersive screenings of films like M3GAN and The Black Phone. Additionally, fans will get a limited-time 3D clip of Avatar: Fire and Ash.
5. What This Means for Creators, Marketers, and Businesses
From immersive brand activations to interactive product showcases, the rise of Hyperscape and VR content unlocks new opportunities. Businesses can craft unique customer experiences and leverage VR to tell stories that transcend traditional media.
