Can any video be viewed in virtual reality like Oculus Rift

There are already a number of apps out there both for the 3D VR Glasses/Headsets such as Oculus Rift and for Google Cardboard-style devices which can play a movie in a "virtual theater."

Basically, it puts you into a seat in front of a giant movie screen. 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. It gets very uncomfortable and most of the times it gets the depth incorrectly. A 2D movie simply doesn't have enough information to have a software guess what's the right depth and since you don't know what's behind an object, even when it guesses the depth correctly, it won't look natural.

Play any video files on Oculus Rift with 3D effect
