New: AI passthrough!
This amazing Deo feature uses the power of AI to turn every VR scene into AR passthrough! Now you can take characters out of VR and have them right there with you - as if they were in the same room.
Notice: AI Passthrough is presently in beta mode, and as such, users may encounter occasional service imperfections. The feature is currently exclusive to the DeoVR app, but it will soon be accessible on both browsers and mobile devices. Your feedback is highly encouraged and appreciated.
Recommended headsets:
Meta Quest 3, and Quest Pro with stereoscopic color passthrough, Pico 4 (monoscopic color passthrough).
Compatible headsets:
Quest 2, Valve Index (monoscopic black and white passthrough).
Passthrough is not compatible yet for Oculus Link cable.

Unlike other palaces built on rigid symmetrical axes, Changdeokgung was designed in harmony with the natural landscape. The buildings follow the curves of the terrain, creating a rare integration of architecture and environment.
Behind the main palace lies Huwon, often called the Secret Garden — a secluded royal garden once reserved for kings and the royal family. Spread across wooded hills and tranquil ponds, Huwon features pavilions, lotus ponds, and winding paths that change dramatically with the seasons.
In spring, blossoms soften the palace grounds. Summer deepens the greens of the forested garden. Autumn transforms Huwon into a masterpiece of crimson and gold foliage. Winter reveals a quiet, minimalist beauty under snow.
More than a historical monument, Changdeokgung represents Korea’s philosophical approach to design — balance, restraint, and respect for nature.
Whether you visit for cultural exploration, architectural appreciation, or seasonal photography, Changdeokgung and its Secret Garden offer a royal experience shaped not by grandeur alone, but by harmony.
