Today’s update improves visual fidelity & immersion on Meta Quest and PCVR headsets with our new Dynamic Screen Lighting 3.0 engine.
We overhauled dynamic screen lighting with new graphics techniques and a lot of fine-tuning. Our latest lighting engine also adds support for real-time specular reflections. It highlights reflective surfaces and specular objects.
To celebrate our new lighting engine we've created a brand new environment: 'The Residence'.
It's a modern, abstract, and cozy space with advanced materials to further enhance the experience. The Residence in combination with DSL 3.0 creates a hyper-realistic, immersive movie-watching experience.
Dynamic Screen Lighting 3.0 is available on PCVR headsets in the following environments:
- Modern Cinema
- Sci-fi Cinema
- Retro Cinema
- Modern Home

- Just like our recent YouTube feature, we'll be adding more screen activities like Twitch, Pluto, and your favorite premium streaming services.
