The Quest 3’s ‘Hyperscapes’ Are Impressive, Weird, and Doomed to Be Under-Appreciated

The article discusses the Hyperscapes feature in Meta's upcoming Quest 3 VR headset. Hyperscapes are large, complex virtual environments designed to showcase the technical capabilities of the device. These environments are described as "impressive" and "weird," with intricate details and scale that push the boundaries of what's possible in VR. However, the article suggests that Hyperscapes are "doomed to be under-appreciated." This is due to the general public's waning interest in VR, as well as the likelihood that most users will focus on more practical and accessible VR experiences rather than exploring these elaborate virtual worlds. The article highlights the technical achievements behind Hyperscapes, but acknowledges that they may not resonate with the majority of consumers. It suggests that while these virtual environments showcase the potential of VR technology, they may not translate into widespread mainstream appeal or commercial success for the Quest 3.
