A good pitch would be: Medical diagnostics/pathology professionals are really exited about VR as (according to those I have spoken to) the 2D presentation of 3D data impedes making precise diagnosis (which VR solves).

Displaying the result of a CT scan maybe?

Medicine does seem like a good possibility, though I'm not very familiar with the problem space.
