Good for you.  I have QuickTime X (10.4).  QuickTime X does not 
support the QuickTime VR (.qtvr) format, nor does it support MIDI, but 
QuickTime Player 7 (7.6.6) does.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime>
<quote>
   As of the Mac OS X Lion, the underlying media framework for
   Quicktime, QTKit, is deprecated in favor of a newer graphics
   framework, AV Foundation.^[2] The Quicktime X player however is
   still included with the new releases of the OS.
[...]
   QuickTime 7 may still be required to support older formats on
   Snow Leopard such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime movies, and MIDI
   files. In such cases, a compatible version of QuickTime 7 is
   included on Snow Leopard installation disc and may be installed
   side-by-side with QuickTime X. Users who have a Pro license for
   QuickTime 7 can then activate their license.^[62]

   A Snow Leopard-compatible version of QuickTime 7 may also be
   downloaded from Apple Support website.^[63]

So, if you want your interactive CD to play on your Darth Vader Mac 
Pro running recent versions of OS X, try installing QTP7.  QTPX isn't 
going to cut it.

QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later

   QuickTime Player 7 supports older media formats, such as QTVR,
   interactive QuickTime movies, and MIDI files on Snow Leopard and
   OS X Lion. It also accepts QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes,
   which turn on QuickTime Pro functions.

   QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in the Utilities folder in
   the Applications folder.

Once you've install QuickTime Player 7, select to icon of the file 
which gives you the error you've quoted, select Get Info from the File 
Menu or use ⌘-I and click the 'Open with' drop-down menu.  If you do 
not see QuickTime Player 7 listed, select 'Other …' and navigate to 
QuickTime Player 7 in /Applications/Utilities/.  Select it.  If you 
have other QTVR files laying about, you may want to consider using the 
'Change All …' option.

Personally, I see the choice of QTVR for a disc published in 2014 to 
be an odd one, as the underlying QTKit framework it requires was 
deprecated in 2011, with the introduction of OS X 10.7 (Lion).
