Technology has advanced to a point where you can watch certain movies with a special expensive helmet! The author watched a yak herder documentary with it and discussed the atmosphere it creates. It requires special cameras that I believe google maps uses in order to film 360 degrees around. You can look anywhere and hear the intimate noises, but you can't move or do anything to the action.
This sounds cool, but it really won't work with most movies. You'd have to get fully created sets and long shots of every actor getting it perfect for the whole duration. There would be no interesting shots or even quick shots. The entire movie would need to be crafted around this tech. This can work, but it won't with most movies. The movies that are made with this will need to make back a big budget, so they'd be save and inoffensive. Nothing from the 70s. Overall it's cool but impractical.
