Summarize

Multi-platform access

Accessing virtual spaces through different platforms

The newly introduced feature can be accessed through a Meta Quest 3 or 3S headset, as well as the Meta Horizon mobile app available on both Android and iOS.
This multi-platform support ensures that users can join virtual hangouts from their preferred device.
The update appears to be part of a larger strategy by Meta to make its virtual spaces more accessible and user-friendly.

Tech utilization

Hyperscape Capture technology enables virtual hangouts

The new feature is an application of Hyperscape Capture, a technology that Meta unveiled at its Connect conference earlier this year.
The tech lets users scan real spaces with a Meta Quest and create digital replicas.
This innovative use of the technology makes virtual hangouts more personalized, as users can even create a virtual version of their own homes for these meetups.

Future plans

Meta plans to expand virtual hangout capabilities

The invite option for virtual hangouts is being rolled out gradually to accounts.
Meta has also hinted at plans to increase the party cap for this metaverse feature in the future.
These developments appear to show the company’s commitment toward enhancing user experience in its virtual spaces and making them more interactive and engaging.
