Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The project that we used Google VR for was an autism VR therapy tool. It made use of iPhones and iPads, and the iPhone made use of Google VR for therapy. It was an affordable VR option at the time when we introduced it. It was to help the user immerse themselves into experiences so that they can learn how to help cope with certain stressful situations better.

Likelihood to Recommend
It's well suited when reaching a general population who's not too tech-savvy and isn't well integrated with the current VR ecosystem. To get into Google VR all you need is a Google Cardboard and a phone with the supported software. The setup for an Oculus and other devices really takes a lot of time to set up and equipment. That's Google VR's greatest factor.
