Meta's Hyperscape Capture Adds More Demo Scenes

Meta is continuing to expand its Hyperscape library with a fresh set of demo worlds, offering users new digital replicas to explore just in time for the holidays. The latest additions extend Meta’s ongoing focus on celebrity homes, studios, and personal workspaces. Roughly one month ago, Meta enabled link based sharing for Hyperscape worlds, allowing up to eight people to join the same space simultaneously.

The newest featured worlds include Kris Jenner’s holiday decorated home, Tan France’s dream closet, Casey Neistat’s New York City studio, Diplo’s recording studio in Jamaica, Jenna Lyons’ festive living room, and DIY creator Tay Beep Boop’s maximalist room. As with all Hyperscape experiences, these scenes were amazingly all captured entirely on a Quest headset.

Given the overwhelmingly positive response to Hyperscape Capture, Meta appears to be increasing its attention and investment in radiance fields. Their lifelike 3D fidelity makes them especially well suited for preserving spaces as moments in time, offering a fundamentally more immersive alternative to traditional photography.

That said, the platform still has limitations. Some users, myself included, have experienced Hyperscape scenes being randomly deleted, and there is currently no way to download or export captures from the app. In parallel, however, a growing number of third party tools are emerging that take inspiration from Hyperscape Capture, such as Splatara and OpenQuestCapture, allowing users to export data for local or cloud based processing on platforms such as Postshot and KIRI Engine.

The expanding slate of demo scenes serves both as inspiration and as a signal of what’s possible with consumer friendly radiance field capture. As Meta continues to grow its catalog of explorable digital spaces, radiance fields are steadily pushing imaging beyond 2D and into a 3D future. Learn more about Hyperscape Capture here.
