Meta shows off Web3-to-reality bridge with ‘Hyperscape’ metaverse demo

The tech is still experimental, but its implications could change how users view reality.

Meta recently showed off a new “Hyperscape” tech that takes the idea of stitching photographs together to form a 3D environment — such as YouTube’s 360 videos — and turns it into a real-time rendering system that could potentially revolutionize telepresence and redefine the idea of working from home. 

Meta’s still as bullish as ever when it comes to the metaverse. As Cointelegraph recently reported, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed off the company’s new “Orion” smart glasses at the company’s “Connect” event on Sept. 25.

That’s a ways off and, according to The Verge, the device will be a headset meant for spatial computing (as opposed to virtual reality). The Verge also indicated that it was specifically not meant for the metaverse — but, any display device, including a computer monitor, can interface with “the metaverse,” spatial computing devices just offer a different level of immersion.
