Your Meta Quest headset just got a major upgrade for free - especially for content creators


Watching movies and TV on your Quest just got a big upgrade - plus, you can now scan and save a digital version of your room.

James Cameron announced earlier this year that his Lightstorm Vision venture had signed a deal with Meta for 3D entertainment "featuring big-name IP," including live sports and concerts, movies, and TV shows. You can use verbal prompts to create worlds like a UFC octagon ring, a home, or an underwater seascape, or to make changes like a new environment or modify an AI-driven NPC. Utilizing something called "Gaussian Splatting," a new Hyperspace Capture feature uses the cameras on your headset to take photos of your environment and then turn them into a digital replica you can visit.
