Meta unveiled Hyperscape Capture at Connect 2025, allowing Quest 3 and Quest 3S users 18+ to scan real-world spaces into photorealistic VR environments. Meta also introduced more metaverse updates at today’s events, including a new lineup of fall VR games, according to TechCrunch.
Separately, OpenAI is introducing an age-verification system for ChatGPT after a lawsuit tied the chatbot to a teenager’s suicide, The Guardian reported.
