Meta Horizon Hyperscape
𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚 𝐇𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥
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.https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxGlXM3v93kLg1D9qjJIKmvIYW-vHvdbd0
𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐅𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐄𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞
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.𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠
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.𝐓𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟

ComfyDock – The Easiest (Free) Way to Safely Run ComfyUI Sessions in a Boxed Container
https://www.reddit.com/r/comfyui/comments/1j2x4qv/comfydock_the_easiest_free_way_to_run_comfyui_in/
ComfyDock is a tool that allows you to easily manage your ComfyUI environments via Docker.
Common Challenges with ComfyUI
- Custom Node Installation Issues: Installing new custom nodes can inadvertently change settings across the whole installation, potentially breaking the environment.
- Workflow Compatibility: Workflows are often tested with specific custom nodes and ComfyUI versions. Running these workflows on different setups can lead to errors and frustration.
- Security Risks: Installing custom nodes directly on your host machine increases the risk of malicious code execution.
How ComfyDock Helps
- Environment Duplication: Easily duplicate your current environment before installing custom nodes. If something breaks, revert to the original environment effortlessly.
- Deployment and Sharing: Workflow developers can commit their environments to a Docker image, which can be shared with others and run on cloud GPUs to ensure compatibility.
- Enhanced Security: Containers help to isolate the environment, reducing the risk of malicious code impacting your host machine.
