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.

Step into the historic grounds of Aoba Castle (Sendai Castle), once the seat of the powerful daimyo Date Masamune, and a symbol of Sendai’s samurai heritage. Though much of the original castle no longer remains, the view from the hilltop and the echoes of history still resonate today.

On weekends, that history comes alive again with the Date Bushotai — a local samurai performance group that brings the story of Masamune to life through speeches, swordplay, and reenactments.

This video captures the full live performance in VR180, giving you a sense of being right there on site. While the lighting and conditions weren't ideal, the atmosphere, energy, and spirit of the Bushotai remain unforgettable.

🗺️ Location: Aoba Castle Ruins, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture
🗓️ Filmed during a 2025 weekend appearance of the Date Bushotai
