Meta’s Horizon Hyperscape Demo appears to be rolling out past the US.
Horizon Hyperscape Demo was launched at Meta Join final month as a US-only demonstration of six totally volumetric scenes on Quest 3, which means you may transfer round them with positional monitoring.

Meta’s Horizon Hyperscape demo exhibits photorealistic 6DoF scenes on Quest 3, however is just out there within the US.
Meta describes the Hyperscape as “powered by cloud streaming” and the scenes as “digital replicas”, and says they have been scanned utilizing cell phones, plus postprocessing within the cloud. It does not disclose the know-how used to scan and render the scenes, however it seems to be Gaussian splatting, which can also be out there on Quest 3 in the app Gracia.
As a result of the scenes are rendered within the cloud, seemingly utilizing Meta’s long-in-the-works Mission Avalanche VR streaming tech, the app begins by checking your web connection velocity and latency to ensure it is adequate, however you may proceed even when the app deems it is not.
I discovered the Horizon Hyperscape Demo to work pretty effectively on the 330 Mbps web I am at present utilizing, although the streaming decision felt too low, and I think about it will look so much higher at greater decision. It is unclear what the bottleneck right here is although: an computerized decision system, the scene seize high quality, or one thing else?
