The South Korean firm stole headlines by lifting the lid on its Note-4 powered Gear VR headset, a piece of tech that has already recieved an impressive amount of developer support. 

UK-based developer nDreams revealed plans to support the hardware with multiple VR titles, while imangi's Temple Run VR  and ustwo's recently announced Lands End  will also be making their VR debuts.
