Oculus Rift and Industrial Design

@Cyberdemon:
I want to explore and pitch an idea for a VR experience at my work place. Can you recommend a reading list, software, etc if I wanted to try to create a quick and dirty VR experience? I don’t have any hardware, so it would have to be for Google Cardboard. Ideally I want to reuse Solidworks CAD data, but the fidelity doesn’t matter - SketchUp level would suffice. My aim is to tickle some nerves and get budget for “real” hardware and resources to take it further.

Is there a way for interaction with the “Cardboard” platform? I assume you can buy some bluetooth device to connect to your phone?
