A cutout text (or knockout text) is a see-through text that appears cut out on top of a background image

How to Create a Responsive Cutout/Knockout text with CSS

Step 1) Add HTML:
<h2>Responsive Cutout Text Effect</h2>

<div class="image-container">
  <div class="text">Virtual Reality </div>
</div>

<p>This example creates a responsive cutout text/knockout text - text that appears cut out on top of a background image.</p>
<p>Resize the browser window to see the responsive effect.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This example does not work in Internet Explorer or Edge.</p>
Step 2) Add CSS:

The mix-blend-mode property makes it possible to add the cutout text to the image. However, it is not supported in IE or Edge:

body {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}

.image-container {
  background-image: url("https://adaptabiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/google-cardboard-min.jpg");
  background-size: contain;
  position: relative;
  height: 300px;
}

.text {
  background-color: white;
  color:    #1c2833   ;
  font-size: 6vw; 
  font-weight: bold;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 1px;
  width: 50%;
  text-align: center;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
  mix-blend-mode: screen;
}
