One of the problems of trying to do this with conventional film is that 2 camera angles doubles the size of the files. Multiple preset viewpoints can be implemented in VR with almost no increase in filesize. It is better than that though. In VR the user is free to wander at will and even record their own viewpoints.

In fact I expect this will be a source of outlet for aficionados of VR shows. I can imagine that people will post online their own viewpoint camera angles of particular shows, and that some particularly skilled people will become so good at it that they will become recognised as especially brilliant directors, eventually gaining employment in future productions.

This discussion has prompted me to post online most of the piece from which I cut that example paragraph earlier about sitting back and watching a VR story.
