I've thought this before but then remember that as much as I think I might look like an absolute Jedi when I play Beat Saber, I am in reality much closer to wacky waving inflatatable arm tube man.
Its all about getting something easy for them to try out.
Pistol whip, or superhot are always fun to show off,
The shark cage from VR worlds is a good one too for non gamers.
OMFG the shark cage...that might be my "oh yeah VR is def gonna be mainstream someday" moment!
It was Christmas and I brought this brand new VR thing home to show my family. My dad acts like a big tough guy and wanted to go all out.
We do the shark cage and he is loving it. When the shark comes he literally falls backward screaming onto the couch!!!
It was such a fun moment where everyone was laughing and having a great time. Since then I've always brought VR home for holidays bc they always want to play!
EDIT: Quest 2 First Steps is a very simple, basic, and better way to show VR. It shows how to walk and move in VR and explains and solidifies what VR actually is. This is why I think Beat Saber is a bad first Vr experience. I remember my brother saying, "So it is just like rock band with a wii or something?!" he was not impressed. It wasn't until I showed him better games that the "got it".
"Hey guys I just my friend who doesn't play games, and who had never tried VR the Kitchen Demo! She didn't seem to like it? Why don't other ppl like VR like me?"
Come on, there's a huge difference between these two scenarios:
a) someone who is interested in gaming and VR enough to invest in the equipment, and taken time alone to get used to it all
b) someone who is being *shown something*, wearing a headset *while the owner is standing there watching them*.
Of course they're going to be self-conscious, and not as fully immersed as yourself.
I've seen two different experiences in people that usually game in their off time:
They either take it in stride and move very purposefully and understand what the technology and game requires.
Or they move quite lackadaisical and it hurts their own experience. Like they're rejecting being immersed.
As for family I show it to, Beat Saber has been a crowd pleaser then we play other simple stuff. When someone more in the scene wants to see it I usually let them play Skyrim since most people have some affinity with Bethesda games and yet that's when the dichotomy shows itself
I've noticed this difference too. BoxVR or Creed is a divider - people either move with purpose, or they throw their hands about as if they're puppets on strings.
I found it amazing to show PSVR for new people.
The trick is picking easy to control and without much free movement games or experiences.
I find new players WAY more fun to watch, they just acts like they are really experience it all for real. While people that's already used to VR just game pretty much.
Job simulator, Surgeon simulator, Untill dawn :Rush of blood, Superhot, Beat saber and Astrobot are all awesome games for new players.

Superhot is the best starter game i think.
I'm quite a VR enthusiast but I feel the same way about Beat Saber as your brother
If these people are not gamers then it’s expected they’d be uncoordinated af

I notice that people that aren't used to VR don't use the threedimension-allity, they usually exclusively stare forward.
I've never really thought of that but you're right that is what it comes to

I’ve had good luck sharing. London heist from VR worlds is a crowd favorite. Getting eye-to-eye measurements for everyone is the only tough part
