VR for the win?

Last night I (solipsistically) spent a while watching my own videos via our Quest 3 VR goggles in 'cinema mode' and I must admit, seeing things on a virtual 20 foot screen certainly makes them look better! Any other forum users been doing this?

But it got me to thinking - a great use of this technology would be if you could link it in to a Teradeck or whatever so that Directors and DPs could see, in real time, how a given scene or shot will look on the big screen. Is anyone doing this, or am I being silly?

I don't have VR goggles, but I do have a 77" TV that's in my dark basement and I usually sit about 8-10 feet from it.  I scooch up a bit closer when I want to preview how something will look on a big theatrical screen from 30-40 feet away.  If I really want the full experience, though, I'll ask a friend to come chew popcorn and talk while I'm trying to watch it.  😉

After watching that video yesterday, I gave some serious thought to picking the same glasses up for when I'm using my Ready Rig since the current solution of mounting a monitor to the Nimbus crossbar has the monitor bouncing around while I walk which is not perfect for what I'm trying to do.  The price for the glasses they used isn't bad (about $300), but I didn't find any stock of the HDMI converter box thingie which is only $99.  Some places had the newer/nicer one, but it's like $300.

I'll be keeping an eye out, though - that seems like it could be a real improvement over what I have now.
