I wonder if there is something in the 360-video world that could help the visual side of immersive experiences.

The option now is to stay panned out a good distance. That doesn't seem to be the best. A VR setup could do it.

The problem is an old one and there is no perfect solution for the disparity between the aural context and the visual context unless one accepts a fixed view for the latter.    The VR solution would permit one to change both contexts in-synch but it seems unappealing, to me, to change the aural one for the kinds of music I listen to.  I don't want to be on the opera stage because that's not how I want to hear opera.  As a result, I tend to watch the video of BD concerts but once and leave the monitor off for all subsequent listening.  

 

Now, creating/composing new material with audio and video specifically for a VR environment is another story..................

The human brain has limited attention abilities (generally 7±2 'chunks' at a time) and hence the requirements of the visual and auditory cortexes (especially together) can exceed this. So, pay full attention to the music, or the visual context, but not both.
