If you have any materials to share I would be so grateful. I will only share/remix with permission and attribution ...

Dear Henrick, These all sound fantastic. It depends on your audience, but I think Gravity Sketch would have the highest impact in terms of getting folks excited about VR and the potential of using that technology.
