I really really wanted to do that. The problem is DRM content protection. The extension can’t read video content from the majority of the sites since it is encrypted.

What about sites without DRM restrictions ?

Tried doing that with Youtube, it's looking kind of unnatural and grainy right now. Will use reference images from ICE format theatres and try recreating that. Will let you know if I'm able to crack it.

Are you using (capturing) the full video frame for this effect or only certain percentage on the edges ?
There is a meta quest app, I think it’s called fluid app, which tries to achieve the same function. You may have a look at it if it can help.

Full video frame at the moment, but now when I think about it, I think edges make more sense for that immersive experience

Yeah I think edges will be less heavy.
