Hi all,
I have a son that has a form of autism, he is 8 years physically and 2 years mentally. To help and stimulate his mental development, we are planning to go to curacao and follow a dolphin based therapy. This costs a lot of money.
In order to gather some funds, we are holding a small benefit with a lot of food! One of the idea's is that I want to use the Oculus Rift on the benefit. I was thinking of holding 15 minutes sessions and have sever choices for the player to choose from.
Robo Recall
Toybox
Beat Saber
I was wondering if anyone else might have some good suggestions about other games I could use, hygienic based advice or any other practical tips. There are probably a lot of things I still haven't thought about, any (constructive :P) input would be appreciated.

Whenever I demo my Rift to people, they almost always want to have a go on a roller coaster. There used to be some fantastic coasters developed for the DK2 but they don't seem to have been updated for the consumer Rift.
There is No Limits 2 though which contains a large selection of very detailed coasters. It's a program that's really been developed to allow you to design your own coasters and is missing the gloss and nice little intros, ambient sound effects like screams from your fellow coaster riders and other animated characters in the scene... but the coasters themselvess are amazing and great fun to ride.
Generally for demos to people who haven't tried VR before, I've found it's a good idea to have a few passive experiences that don't require the user to have to do too much.
Titan's of Space takes you on a ride through the solar system but takes a while, about 20 minutes I think.
1943 Blitz puts you in the passenger seat of a Lancaster bomber on a real bomb run recorded by the BBC at the time and lasts for about 13 minutes... and it's free! A few people have had a problem getting it to run though so give it a try.
Apollo 11 put you in a Saturn V and takes you to the moon. I think that was about 15-20 minutes if you choose the non-interactive option.
theBlu as Snowdog mentions is visually quite stunning for anyone new to VR.
and as the others have said the Oculus intro programs are perfect for newcomers. There are 2 programs, Dreamdeck introduces you to VR and doesn't involve the hand controls and there's First Contact which introduces people to the Touch controllers and is useful for people to try before any other hand-control type games.
If I was aiming the demo at a specific audience of teenagers, I may be tempted to have a racing simulator set up with steering wheel and pedals and just have that running and nothing else, as it can take a little time to set up get working properly. My nephews seem to want to do that more than anything else. But that's not suitable if you're going to have a broad range of people who just want to try stuff out!
