We have a client who is projecting our film onto a 360 degree cylindrical wall around the viewer. It's a slow crane up (Well, drone, actually - the total height change is about half a kilometer) in a city and, from what I hear from those who have seen our test versions in the room, it's quite impressive.
That said, I'm hesitant to say that this kind of stuff, even if it were on a headset, is really "VR" - just being able to look at different parts of what is basically just a sphere wrapped around you seems of limited appeal to me (despite what I just said above, which I think is basically just 'impressive' as a gimmick). The real sense of "presence" can only be obtained by a) stereoscopy in whatever you're looking at and b) a pretty accurate interaction with your head movement. This means parallax, which also means real time and to an extent interactivity (insomuch as you're moving the camera, not simply nodally panning around a sphere).
