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.

To be honest, of all the attractions in Barcelona, Sant Pau is the one most likely to be overlooked—it isn’t on the tour groups’ itineraries, and it’s not close to the Sagrada Família. But the moment I actually stepped inside, I realised: this was the most worthwhile stop of my entire trip.
🌿 Six Hundred Years of Compassion
It all began in 1401.
That year, six medieval hospitals in Catalonia merged to form the ‘Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau’. For nearly five hundred years thereafter, this hospital cared for the poor and sick in the old town.
By the late 19th century, the once-advanced building had become dilapidated and cramped. Barcelona needed a new hospital unlike any that had come before.
In 1902, a great dream began to take shape.
💰 A Banker’s Last Wish
On his deathbed, the Parisian banker Pau Gil i Serra left a bequest to build a new hospital named after Saint Paul, dedicated to caring for the poor.
His final wish found a partner in an architect.
Lluís Domènech i Montaner — the father of Catalan Modernism, whom historians have dubbed the ‘Renaissance man of architecture’.
He took on the project, drawing on a lifetime of learning to transform it into a ‘garden city’ — rather than a traditional, oppressive hospital.
