This is particularly useful if you want to watch a movie on your cell phone. Next, if you have a movie that's been filmed in 360 degrees, the YouTube app for Android will automatically convert it into immersive, side-by-side virtual reality view. (iPhone support is reportedly coming... eventually).If you have a movie that's been filmed in regular old 3D, you can also watch it with a headset, but it won't be immersive -- you won't feel as though you're in the middle of it. At best, you'll feel as though you're sitting in a theater wearing 3D glasses, watching a 3D movie.There are tools to emulate 3D perspective from 2D movies, but have very low expectations.
