From gaming to education, virtual reality promises much in the way of new immersive experiences, and with the likes of the HTC Vive Pro and Oculus Go, the hardware is more accessible and powerful than it's ever been before. However, those hoping for immersive VR cinematic experiences have today been dealt a blow.

Variety is reporting that the high-end VR camera that was in development between Google and giant-screen cinema company IMAX has ceased. IMAX states that it has "currently paused the development" of the 3D capture hardware.
