Why Google Cardboard? 
  1. The headsets are inexpensive. Schools can even custom-print them with their branding, and send them as a mailer to prospective students and clients
  2. The headsets work with both iPhones and Android phones.

Of course, if you want to create something for other VR headsets, Circlescapes can do that, too.
