Would you watch a movie in a theater in a virtual reality ?

What makes you think you're not in one right now.

if it can simulate a cinema screen better than the typical home project, then absolutely yes. This is actually one of the reasons I am really interested in VRs.
I would be right now if HTC werent incompetent with their shipping.
>let's put virtual reality function on our cellphone it will secure the VR market for us before it really takes off
>wait, we don't have enough VR contents to see it with
>just create a VR movie theater and all the videos become our contents

I watched a bunch of stuff on my DK2, even with the lower resolution it was still very immersive and effective. There's something comfy about watching a tv show on a 40 ft screen too. With the increase in resolution I can't see why I won't again in the future, it beats watching a movie on the tv if you're alone.

well I would probably prefer a different virtual "environment"

The reason the cinema is effective is because the perspective tricks work thanks to objects in the environment, such as the chairs, being used for scale. In the VR cinema apps you can watch the video in a black void if you choose but then the sense of scale is diminished. Viewing the movies in a virtual desktop environment wouldn't provide much benefit over watching them on a standard desktop.

If you don't have all the virtual seating and crap around you, does it still feel like a 40ft screen?

I suppose you are right, I still have to try a VR yet.
Anyway it would be better than watching a film on my 15" laptop TN screen in any case.

What's the point? Just go the a real cinéma, nerds.

So long as there's something for perspective yes. Even the black void still feels large because you have to turn your head to focus on the edges of the screen but occasionally my brain thinks 'well actually it's just a 3ft screen really close to my face'. The way they have got around this is that you have a little virtual menu to the side of you (for pausing, changing vids, looking at your webcam to check what's going on around you etc), and because this is a 3D object that provides some semblance of scale. this means that although there's nothing around the screen if you glance to the side the illusion is restored.
There's a whole host of virtual environments, some good, some bad. My favourite is a little boat floating in the ocean with the massive screen suspended above the water. Not distracting and the reflection of the screen gives scale and is comfy as fuck.
I look forward to the day when movies are tailored for VR experience from storyboard stage

>implying the no singles policy is a good thing
How do you think the dedicated cinema shooter is going to enter the cinema?
I agree with the rest though. I haven't gone to a doctor in years because I can just get my penis inspection at the cinema. It's definitely worth the extra 5 bucks per ticket. I also enjoy the cinema showers, they're much better than the tiny shower in my studio apartment. I don't even have a bath tub.
Does the VR device project your hands and snacks so you can feed yourself?
Only if I can bring my anvil

If you own a leap motion or kinect that's possible but I don't think it'd supported in the current cinema apps by default.
>>68008668
Why would I want to see chairs and shit? That's a con with going to the movies, not a pro. Can't you have the film take up your whole view?
>>68010990
You can use the vive camera as a tiny window to see your snacks.

I look forward to the day we can have infinite photorealistic AI generated virtual experiences.
Of fucking course. It's one of the reasons I'm excited for VR. You could simulate watching an IMAX screen in your own home. Of course it won't be as good but it'll be better than watching it on a TV.
>>68011075
But the movies are not filmed to be viewed like that.

maybe. not at home though unless I could post on /tv/ while watching.
