How would that even work? Like, small segments in immersive VR? That seems… very specific.
Yes exactly. They did this in theatres where small sections of the movie would be in 3D. There’d be a blinking icon to tell you when to put your 3D glasses on.
The problem with 3d anaglyphs is that there’s a tradeoff: To get the depth information across, there’s a big loss in colour reproduction. It’s fine as a gimmick, but doing the whole movie that way probably isn’t the best idea.
VR headsets just have a different set of tradeoffs (hot, sweaty and isolating ;) which make them basically equally undesirable for a good viewing experience.
The idea behind having only sections in 3d is that you only accept the tradeoffs when they’re most worthwhile.
