VR places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds.
However you can always play VR in regular player, but it won’t give you the same feeling without the console.
VR video may have many types - stereo/mono(3D/2D), 180/270/360 Degree. If it stereo it has addition types for frame packing - top-bottom, left-right. It also has different type transformation: fisheye, cylinder, sphere e.t.c A lot of VR videos don’t include metadata in their system, so most players don’t recognize it, therefore you need to implement it manually.
IMHO for mobile works best with Aloha browser https://alohabrowser.com/ It allows you to download and play VR video. For PC try to http://deovr.com/
