I've watched a few movies in what's called ScreenX[0]. It's a cinema experience where they project the movie on the main (front) screen, and project the surroundings on the two side walls. The result is an immersive viewing experience.
Obviously the film is not recorded in the ridiculously wide aspect ratio, so usually the side images are computer generated. For landscape imagery, this is fairly seamless. You can't really tell that the images aren't real. However, during a scene with people, the side walls projected static images that drifted around slightly (as if they were cardboard cutouts). I guess the idea is that most things happening in your peripheral vision are lost anyway, so no need to make them detailed.
