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

To watch any incompatible file formats such as AVCHD, MXF, Tivo, etc video files on Oculus Rift in 3D effect, you will need to convert these file formats to 3D SBS. Pavtube Video Converter / Mac Version, a comprehensive tool that's capable of converting various media files to 3D SBS format to watch on Oculus Rift and also other Virtual Reality devices including Samsung Gear VRZeiss VR One, etc.

Free download the Trail version and have a try, it is 100% clean and safe:

    

Step by step to convert any video to Oculus Rift 3D formats

Download and install Pavtube Video Converter on your computer or Mac (compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and lower versions / Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan, 10.10 Yosemite, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.7 Lion, 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.5 Leopard and lower versions). Run this program immediately. We choose the windows version as the guide, Mac version as the same in the steps.

Step 1: Import video.

Import the video files to this program by click "File" menu and select "Add Video/Audio" or "Add from folder". Or you can directly drag and drop the files to the program interface.



Step 2: Output Oculus Rift compatible 3d format.

Tap on "Format" bar and find "3D Video", there are a lot of format options for you. You can choose the output 3D format according to your phone, here "MP4 Side-by-Side 3D Video (*.mp4)" is recommended.



Step 3: Convert Files to Oculus Rift SBS 3D MP4.

Hit right-bottom "Convert" button to start the conversion process.

What Should I Get Her(TV girly) for Christmas?

Summary: Christmas is coming, do you still worry about to choose a good present for her, here we give the gift for you to enjoy her.

If you want to be a good (or better) influence in her life, I would recommend taking her on outings with you-- day trips to a library, a zoo (as mentioned), an activity centre (like the YMCA for example-- you could attend a class, go for a swim), and lastly a department store, to get an idea of what she likes and has interest in, as well as provide exposure to more things/people/ideas she could develop an interest in.  You will get a better idea of what she wants for Christmas by asking her directly (and whether or not you decide to buy it for her will be up to you-- it may or may not be within your budget or appropriate-- that's a call only you can make), but you will get more clues about what she likes by going on these outings with her, and they will enhance both of your lives.

I'd take a new look at her interests instead of dismissing them. For example:

Someone who likes watching TV might have a desire and a talent for the performing arts. Maybe she could look into taking acting or singing or dancing lessons, and get involved in theatre productions. She could BE in shows instead of watching them. Learning how to get up in front of people and perform is a skill that translates into other fields as well. There are also other career avenues in the performing arts that are not performance related as well she could look at: cameraman, director, producer, sound production, makeup, etc.

Depending on your budget, you could ask her what she would like to do together, encourage her to try doing something new, as your Christmas gift to her. Now that she was interested in movies and TV, why not give her a gift enable she can be watch the TV shows and movies in any time and anywhere?

Here Pavtube give the special offer in the Christmas promotion, we pick Pavtube Video Converter / Mac Version as example, it is an easy-to use, functional video converter and video editor, enables you convert multiple audio and video sources to the desired audio/video format. This program allows you to convert video types such as SD videos, HD footages from camcorders and TiVo/DVR recordings to almost any audio/video format for free entertainment on mobile devices, HD media players, as well as free access to video editing software. 

You can also realize her movie director dream with the built-in video editor. Make personal video by trimming, cropping, adding text/image/video images, inserting SRT/ASS/SSA subtitle into source video, etc.

Don’t hesitate to get it as the Christmas gift for her, once you purchase you will get upgrades free for lifetime. The only thing you should remember is choose the right version from Windows version or Mac version.
