Once you get use to using something like the Rift or Vive, you realize how cool 3D is on those devices. There is no darkening of the image, no flashing, no moiring, and it becomes very immersive. It takes a while, but if you watch something long enough, you begin to feel like you are part of it. I have watched scuba diving 360 videos, and when a shark comes swimming up to where you are in the video, its more than a little unnerving.. I've found myself forgetting that whatever I was near isn't real and that when I start to get a little tired, I can't lean on it. I've found myself playing certain clips over and over again because you can move around them and see them from different angles, and see something new at least 3 or 4 times that you do that. Even with regular movies, once you get immersed, you really feel like you aren't just watching the movie anymore, so much as witnessing it. Its a pretty powerful way to experience film..
