A: No matter what you are willing to do, you need a VR Blu-ray Ripper indeed with which you can changing a 2D/3D Blu-ray to format/resolution available to VR One.

Q: What is it like to watch a movie (2D or 3D) on Oculus Rift? What kind of experience do you get?

A: There is a free application on the Oculus share page called VR Cinema. It easily let’s you play 2d or 3d movie files on the Rift, while putting you in a virtual movie theatre. You can even walk around the theatre and sit in any seat you like. Though, because the 3d effect of the Rift is so many magnitudes beyond the 3d effect of typical blockbuster films, the 3d effect from within VR Cinema is sort of lackluster in my opinion. A much more compelling experience is true made-for-Rift content, which actually makes you feel like you are there.
