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.

About the wreck:
The Okikawa Maru, a Standard Merchant 1TL class supply ship, was launched in 1943. Her dimensions are 526.7ft/160.54m x 65.7ft/20.03m x 29.1ft/8.87m, making her the largest shipwreck in Coron. Designated as an auxiliary oiler of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the Okikawa Maru sailed around southeast Asia throughout WW2. On 22 Sept. 1944, she anchored at Coron Bay. Two days later, fighters and dive-bombers from USS Intrepid (CV-11), USS Cabot (CVL-28), and USS Lexington (CV-16) conducted a raid to sink Japanese ships anchored within the bay. The Okikawa Maru was strafed and bombed, resulting in the loss of 8 souls, with the rest abandoning ship. The ship partially sunk that day, and a follow-up air raid on 9 Oct. 1944 finally finished off the burning hulk. She rests upright at a maximum depth of 85ft/26m, with her upper deck at about 12m/40ft.
