Hi Mike,

Pretty much every 360 video or image that you find on youtube or facebook
can be used as content and played on the Rift or the Vive. That content can
be used as cultural material to be presented at any level, in any language
class. It's more challenging to come across applications that are specific
or that can be repurposed for language or content classes. These are some
I've found:

Coco VR <https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/1707911292615524/> : When
you get to the Art Gallery, they have a really good collection of La
Catrina art, starting with Posada's work.
Dreams of Dali <https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/1873099679429920/> :
A surrealist experience inside of Dali's art.
War and Cartridges
<https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/1311353015635994/>: An art exhibit
in French by Tunisian artists Wadi Mhiri and Houda Ghorbel
<http://houdaghorbelwadimhiri.com/en/ward-cartouches/>
Travel VR <https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/575992462525226/> :
We're using this app to present cultural content in Spanish classes
-although it can be done with any language. Students select one Spanish
speaking country and then select a video. They have to report to the class
what they learned about the country.

Hope this helps.
