Pretty basic really... I can't see 3D pictures or movies. Will I be able to experience virtual reality now that it's becoming a thing?

According to an opthamologist I saw a while back, my eyes don't quite line up correctly, and if my eyes are giving me mixed signals, my brain basically ignores the signals from one eye or the other (if I remember, my right eye generally wins the battle). This means I've never been able to enjoy 3D pictures or movies. Even with the special glasses. This also means I have pretty lousy depth perception. I mean, I can tell whenever I'm watching a movie (because friends and amusement park tours...) that there are points where I'm *supposed* to see the 3D effect. And I can gauge other by people's reactions that they're seeing something that I'm totally not, but it's extremely rare that I, myself, have seen anything pop off the screen in 3D. Like, maybe twice...

I've never seen a 3D effect in a picture or poster. Okay, once, when I was six and had my eyes tested, so I know what it's supposed to look like, but that was the first and last time. It never happened after that. That was well over 45 years ago. I've never *ever* seen what those stupid "magic eye" pictures that were so popular a while back were supposed to be. Like, ever.

Anyway, virtual reality is slowly becoming a thing, and I'm curious... does the fact that my eyes don't line up correctly mean I won't experience VR the same way most people will? I mean, at this point in time it's basically the same concept, right?
