Hyperscape technology allows us to scan spaces with just a phone and create photorealistic replicas of the physical world with high fidelity. You can experience these digital replicas on the Quest 3 or on the just announced Quest 3S.

This level of photorealism will enable a new way to be together, where spaces look, sound, and feel like you are physically there.

Currently not available, but in the future, it will offer a new way to create worlds in Horizon and will be the easiest way to bring physical spaces to the digital world. Creators can capture physical environments on their mobile device and invite friends, fans, or customers to visit and engage in the digital replicas.

Using Gaussian Splatting, a 3D modeling technique that renders fine details with high accuracy and efficiency, we process the model input data in the cloud and render the created model through cloud rendering and streaming on Quest 3 and the just announced Quest 3S.

If you are in the US and you have a Meta Quest 3 or 3S you can try it out here:
Ethan Roffler I recently had the honor of interviewing this VFX genius and gained great insight into what it takes to work in the entertainment industry. Keep in mind, these questions are coming from an artist’s perspective but can be applied to any creative individual looking for some wisdom from a professional. So grab a drink, sit back, and enjoy this fun and insightful conversation.
Ethan To start, I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time for this interview!
Daniele My pleasure. When I started my career I struggled to find help. Even people in the industry at the time were not that helpful. Because of that, I decided very early on that I was going to do exactly the opposite. I spend most of my weekends talking or helping students. ;)
Ethan That’s awesome! I have also come across the same struggle! Just a heads up, this will probably be the most informal interview you’ll ever have haha! Okay, so let’s start with a small introduction!
The dynamic range is a ratio between the maximum and minimum values of a physical measurement. Its definition depends on what the dynamic range refers to.
For a scene: Dynamic range is the ratio between the brightest and darkest parts of the scene.
For a camera: Dynamic range is the ratio of saturation to noise. More specifically, the ratio of the intensity that just saturates the camera to the intensity that just lifts the camera response one standard deviation above camera noise.
For a display: Dynamic range is the ratio between the maximum and minimum intensities emitted from the screen.
The Dynamic Range of real-world scenes can be quite high — ratios of 100,000:1 are common in the natural world. An HDR (High Dynamic Range) image stores pixel values that span the whole tonal range of real-world scenes. Therefore, an HDR image is encoded in a format that allows the largest range of values, e.g. floating-point values stored with 32 bits per color channel. Another characteristics of an HDR image is that it stores linear values. This means that the value of a pixel from an HDR image is proportional to the amount of light measured by the camera.
For TVs HDR is great, but it’s not the only new TV feature worth discussing.
