Yeah, but those are all still like, super 3D on a flat screen. Which makes sense - they're demonstrating exactly how 3D and immersive VR can be, even without a headset.

I'm just curious what the future would look like for, say, a startup's splash page in VR, where environment could be used to subtly enhance the experience if you are in VR, but otherwise be a normal web page.

Now I'm picturing something like the Super Game Boy, where you have the original screen and then a graphical wrapper around it.

Being able to easily add a spherical or cylindrical "wallpaper" that would project around you while looking at a 2d rectangle projection of the site could be a simple way to give an "easter egg" to VR users without having to comprehensively redesign everything for it.
