Meta Is Testing 3D Photos for Instagram On Meta Quest

Meta / Instagram on Meta Quest

Meta is testing 3D photos for Instagram on the Meta Quest. Using AI view synthesis algorithms, it will convert 2D photos into immersive 3D images in the feed for select users.

This is part of Meta's early steps toward bringing more social and entertainment experiences into a spatial, 3D environment on Quest.

Why It Matters: Converting 2D photos into 3D makes Instagram content more immersive and better suited to the spatial capabilities of Meta’s headset, all without creators needing to shoot their content in 3D. This more engaging format could encourage consumption of Instagram on their headsets.
