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.
Check out our complete guide to passthrough and join in the discussion at our busy forum.
Created by the team behind SoulandJazz LIVE, performances, initially in Jazz and Classical featuring original compositions, will be captured simultaneously in both Virtual Reality (VR180) and 4K.
Delivery of content will be aggregated across multiple channels as well as the UpClose.TV website with audio delivered in stereo and various spatial audio formats.
Testing the waters with us earlier this year was the Emily Francis Trio who performed five tracks for the first Up Close and... Jazz.
