By opportunities I mean opportunities in the sense that the wider applications of VR will now be something that will be actively explored with sizeable financial backing behind it, and will hopefully in turn speed up the progress of expansion/progression within the technology industry as a whole.

Basically, I think Facebook throwing it's weight behind OR coupled with Sony's recent reveal, is going to cause a lot of other companies to start stepping up and taking note. While core gamers might now being treating it with trepidation, I think this move - if successful - is going to cause a lot businesses to rethink the trepidation they were showing toward VR which, will ultimately benefit everyone.
