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 train arrives. But this time, it doesn’t stop. It drifts beyond the station, into the language of dreams.
Romance is not a film in the traditional sense. It is a reverie in movement, a quiet cinematic ritual that begins with homage and ends in transcendence. Drawing upon the Lumière brothers’ Arrival of a Train—the mythic birth cry of cinema—this short VR360 stereoscopic piece opens in black-and-white restraint, only to dissolve into a cosmic ballet of light, gesture, and surreal structure.
In Romance, the viewer is no longer outside the frame. They are inside the emotion. Space itself becomes choreography: stairways loop toward stars, dancers shift between time and architecture, and silence thickens into meaning.
Crafted with minimal tools—Blender, a handheld rig, a 6m² stage—this work channels the spirit of early cinema’s wonder through the spatial intimacy of virtual immersion. Its imagery evokes Renaissance perspectives and the kinetics of ballet, but its destination is far less classical: a realm where memory, myth, and movement collapse into presence.
This is the first of five early echoes—dreams before the island. These preludes are not prototypes. They are rituals of preparation, each testing the breath and bone of what will become Echoes of Morantia. Here, we begin not with narrative, but with sensation.
