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.

Starting from the village of Wanaka in Central Otago our water taxi ride with Wanaka Watertaxi takes us 15km up Lake Wanaka. Along the way we are taking in stunning views of the Harris and Buchanan Mountains. Along the way we take time to stop and learn about the fascinating history and geology of the area by our skipper Brent.
Mou Waho Island is a predator-free nature reserve with interesting and diverse birdlife. Kereru (Wood pigeon) Korimaka (Bell Bird), Tomtits, and Buff Weka can be seen on the island. The protected island is a wildlife sanctuary with a small jetty.

After disembarking on Mou Waho Island we have about 1.5+ hours to explore this special place. A 20 to 30 minute hike up the hill brings you to the hidden lake, created by glacial action thousands of years ago when large glaciers filled the valley.

After the hike a swim in the bracing waters of Lake Wanaka and of course you can swim in the lake on top of the island! Keen walkers carry on for another 10 minutes to the top of the island (Tyrwhitt Peak) with opening views to reveal both lakes and a panorama of jagged peaks.
