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?

 I recently came across the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality website. Looks like the real-deal!
http://www.oculusvr.com/

YouTube is full of videos using VR Cinema, for the virtual reality prespective, and Oculus Rift, for the stereoscopic "3D" view. (Some even show dual images for you to try a no-hardware, "cross-eyed" stereo viewing.)

Here is an introduction (hard to see the theatre in this one)

"Virtual Reality Movie Theater For The Oculus Rift VR Cinema 3D"

and here's an awesome first-person view (with the theatre showing it's full glory)
