Meta has just taken its virtual hangouts to the next level by introducing an invite-only feature in its Hyperscape Capture spaces. Users can now extend digital invitations to friends and acquaintances, creating a more social aspect to these immersive virtual environments.
In this enhanced experience, up to eight individuals aged 18 or older can join a space at once, as long as they have the necessary link and access to Meta Horizon, which is compatible with both Quest 3 and 3S headsets. Users can also connect through the mobile app on their Android or iOS devices.
The Hyperscape Capture technology allows users to scan real-life spaces and create virtual replicas, providing a unique opportunity for socializing and exploring in a digital setting. With this update, individuals can invite friends over when they're unable to meet physically, or indulge in celebrity-inspired spaces like Gordon Ramsay's kitchen or Chance the Rapper's living room.
This new feature is being rolled out gradually and comes as part of Hyperscape Capture, which Meta showcased at its Connect conference earlier this year. As users explore these virtual hangouts, Meta plans to increase the party cap in the future, allowing for even more social interactions in the metaverse.

... invite-only feature just sounds like another way for people to exclusivity-ify their online lives. What's wrong with just being open and accessible? Like, who needs a fancy link to join some virtual gathering? It just seems like Meta is trying to make the metaverse more "Instagrammable" rather than actually making it more inclusive 
. And what about people who don't have the latest headset or mobile app? It's not like they're going to be left behind... are they? 
Can you even believe this?! They're finally getting it right with this invite-only feature! I mean, think about it, we've been waiting for something like this for ages and now it's here... or is it? I'm still a bit skeptical because, let's be real, who gets invited to these exclusive spaces anyway?! 
I swear, if they start charging us for these virtual spaces too, that's when I'll be outta there! 
. It's like, I get why they're doing it - people want to hang out online with their friends and family who are physically far away. But at the same time, I'm a bit worried that it'll create more FOMO (fear of missing out) vibes, you know? Like, if everyone's having a sick virtual party in Gordon Ramsay's kitchen, I might just wanna be left behind 
. But we gotta remember, the metaverse is still super experimental, so there are bound to be some kinks to work out. Like, what if hackers start messing with these virtual spaces? That'd be a real bummer 
.
!
, just what we need more ways to get sucked into those digital rabbit holes 
... think about it, with this invite-only feature, people are gonna be inviting their friends over and staying there all day 
, forgeting about the real world outside... I mean, who needs human interaction when you can hang out in a virtual Gordon Ramsay's kitchen? 
It's like, totally changing the game for those who wanna chill virtually without feeling too "techy" or awkward. But what's wild is that they're already thinking about scaling it up with more people - can you imagine a virtual rave party 
. The idea of creating a more social aspect to Hyperscape Capture spaces by introducing an invite-only feature is a game-changer for online communities. It's amazing to see how this update allows users to seamlessly transition between in-person meetups and virtual gatherings, especially when circumstances don't permit physical interactions.
. As the metaverse continues to evolve, I'm excited to see how this feature will be refined and expanded upon, potentially leading to even more innovative social experiences in the future. The gradual rollout of this update will undoubtedly provide valuable insights into user behavior and preferences.
. By providing users with an increasingly sophisticated platform for socializing, gaming, and creative expression, Meta is poised to revolutionize the way we interact online and offline 
.
it's like, the ultimate flex 
and the fact that they're making these spaces invite-only is like, super exclusive and cool 
i mean who doesn't want to explore chance the rapper's living room or something? 
anyway, i'm lowkey excited for this update but also kinda worried that it'll get too crowded in these virtual spaces 
and what about the noise level? are we just gonna sit there in silence or is it gonna be like a virtual karaoke party? lol
also what's up with having to have a link and Horizon headset just to hang out with friends? feels like you need an extra pair of glasses just to use Meta 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to hang out in a virtual Gordon Ramsay's kitchen or Chance the Rapper's living room? 
The fact that you can scan real-life spaces and create virtual replicas is just mind-blowing... it's like having your own personal theme park in your backyard! 
. And 8 people at once is a good party size, not too big or too small. Meta's really stepping up their game with this update! 
. Meta is really stepping up the game 
it's amazing how they can create these immersive spaces that feel like real life but are totally digital... and now we get to invite friends over for some sick virtual gaming sessions or just chillin' in celebrity-themed rooms
