Is this possible to add such feature? 3D stereo TV panels production is mostly cancelled and their support disabled by AMD and nVidia, so this feature is more and more demanded by 3D Blu-ray enthusiasts. I would be even willing to pay for such feature.

No need to pay. Currently you just need to know how to rip a blu-ray disk then transcode the video to full top-and-bottom format. I did the transcoding for a few movies. The 3D effect is nice in DeoVR.
The more commonly used format is Half-side-by-side 3D format. For now DeoVR cannot play it the way it's supposed to be. Hopefully the new version will fix it.

I know I can convert 3D blu-ray video into SBS or OU 3D
But ripping and converting takes time and taking just half of the image reduces resolution and quality.
I just want to watch films from my collection without all those crappy conversions.
I actually can do this by using Stereoscopic player + Bigscreen but it takes time to setup resolution, player and desktop projection. So I still would like to have high-end and easy to use solution that will just stream blu-ray content from PC to a headset.

as far as I know no VR player supports the MVC codec necessary to play blu-ray directly. i do what you do with stereoscopic player. The dev of Virtual Home Theater said they would like to support MVC directly but I doubt it ever happens

For me full 3D Blu-ray is quite rare to find. I can only find a few of those. They has the full resolution ( 1920x1080 x2, 1 regular video stream, 1 extra stream for 3d ). I transcoded them into 1920x2160 videos. It's quite enjoyable to watch them in DeoVR.
The more common ones are in half-sbs or half-ou. Resolution is 1920x1080. They lose quite a bit of clarity, and DeoVR actually cannot play them correctly. The ratio is all wrong.
So for a few of those Bluray rips, I don't mine adding the transcoding to a queue, and let the computer do all the heavy lifting by itself. As quidnunc said, right now no VR player is supporting MVC extra video track, you have to do the transcoding anyway.

Tried to transcode full length 3D blu-ray using BD3D2MK3D
It estimated about 3 hours to comply on my i7 10700KF
Ridiculous.

Wow, only 3 hours ?! Ridiculous !
