Dynamic Screen Lighting 3.0 and a new high-fidelity environment.

We're excited to launch the Realtime Lighting Update!

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
For Meta Quest 1 and Quest 2 users, DSL 3.0 is currently only in The Residence environment while we work on performance improvements to bring DSL 3.0 to more environments.
