I used to have a pair of LCD-shutter based 3D glasses that allowed me to play PC games in 3D. I found it mostly a novelty, except for when I played the game “Thief” in which case it turned the game into the most immersive experience ever. With the lights in the room off, and headphones on, I had a similar-to-VR experience, albeit without head tracking. The game involves sneaking around various environments, and includes one level where the character walks across planks over a similar pit. I can attest that the experience was pretty intense.

Having played the old VR game Dactyl Nightmare, I can tell you even a blocky unrealistic enviroment can give you enough motion cues to emerse you in the enviroment. When I got dropped from a virtual height of about 100 feet, it felt like I was falling and my hands reached out to grab something, even though I was on solid ground.
