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 film was designed to educate U.S. schoolchildren on how to survive a nuclear attack by ducking and covering their heads when they see the flash of an atomic bomb. It features Bert the Turtle, an animated character voiced by Carl Ritchie, who demonstrates the safety technique by retreating into his shell when attacked by a monkey with dynamite. Widely distributed to schools across the United States in the 1950s, it was one of several media formats (including pamphlets and records) used to prepare the public for potential nuclear war with the Soviet Union.
The film is considered a significant piece of Cold War propaganda and cultural history; it was inducted into the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2004.
Experts and historians consider the Duck and Cover film ineffective or misleading for several key reasons, primarily revolving around the scale of nuclear weapons and the psychological intent behind the campaign.
