This might sound completely crazy, but I wonder if someone could use Oculus Rift (a virtual reality headset for those who don't know) to virtually sit in a Cinerama movie theater? If one knew how to program, he or she could even recreate a particular cinema, modeled in 3D polygons like a modern videogame. The viewer would put on the Rift and pick a "seat" to sit in while the film plays. Put on a pair of nice headphones and you'd have a true Cinerama experience! 

Yes, I know this would be a lot of work, but I think it would be very cool.
