I've actually played around with this (used to make 'immersive' 2D videos for fitness equipment; [1] is a former startup of mine). We tested existing footage in VR: completely nauseating. That is, it's nauseating if you're trying to imagine that you're running or biking through an area, because the movement doesn't match your movements. There are a few exceptions. Our content was live action video, but massively stabilized (it almost looked like CG; many partners assumed it was). So I'm not optimistic that standard video would work for this, at all. Just my two cents, though it's a pretty well-informed couple of pennies. [1] http://www.vafitness.com/ http://www.vafitness.com/
