Samsung Gear VR is coming to users in early December

Good news virtual reality fans, Samsung announced Wednesday that the Gear VR Innovator Edition will be available in the U.S. in early December.

Powered by Oculus and compatible exclusively with the Galaxy Note 4, the Gear VR Innovator Edition is Samsung's first foray into the world of virtual reality.

The company announced the Gear VR back in September, but the release date was still up in the air. The "Innovator Edition" nomenclature basically means that this is for developers, but available to everyone.

Developers interested in building apps and exploring VR-related scenarios can get started with the Oculus Mobile SDK for Gear VR, which is available to developers who register at https://developer.oculus.com/.

Samsung didn't announce a price for the Gear VR Innovator Edition, so that's still a mystery.

Samsung and Oculus are also working with a host of partners to bring content to the Gear VR, including:

DreamWorks VR from DreamWorks Animation allows Samsung Gear VR users to interact with DreamWorks characters and content.

Harmonix Music VR lets you take your music library into an immersive environment with soundscapes and visualizations.

M-GO Advanced, offers a new way to discover various video content.

Temple Run VR is the latest edition in Imangi's Temple Run series and is on the Gear VR

Vevo offers more than 100,000 HD music videos, live concert events and original programming that can be viewed on the Gear VR.

The Gear VR Innovator Edition will be available in Frost White at Samsung.com with a gamepad. Developers interested in the device can register at http://www.samsung.com/GearVR today
