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.

The video utilizes a crazed visual style with a strange mix of effects, including kaleidoscope-like imagery and superimposed images, which became a trend for subsequent music videos.
Numan sings in a flat, affectless tone, with his voice treated as just another machine in the mix, matching the song's theme of using technology as emotional armor.
The video, along with his appearances on Top of the Pops, helped launch his solo career and established the aesthetic for heavy electronic music and industrial rock.
The clip remains a curiosity of the pre-MTV era, valued for its unsettling power and its role in cementing Numan's status as a pioneer of electronic music.
