It's in closed alpha for professional Maya users apparently, not sure if they'll be doing a beta at some point but I would guess maybe some time around the Oculus/HTC VR headset releases next year if we're lucky.
Only saying that as there's no pictures yet, they're being really secretive about it and I doubt they'd want to beta without the full feature set, and for what it is it probably it's probably a lot of work.

Course I am hopeful it does turn out good and can survive as an alternative to SL.
If that "experience" thing they added into SL is anything to go by for what they have planned with Sansar, I see a lot of potential in it for some pretty nifty games and such.
Plus, if people are able to own land larger than the confined square boxes we have now for regions, just imagine the possible RP/combat/etc themed places people could make!

I hope they'll have some system in place to heavily discourage people from uploading mess like this so that they'll actually have to git gud, while also hoping it won't be too restrictive for the rest of us still learning with some decently moderate skills by comparison.
I've seen people suggest to add a "land Impact" styled system for avatar attachments in SL, which honestly might actually be useful to help encourage content creators to get better at optimizing their shit so there's less picture related be it in the form of mesh,scripts or even texture,

Making attachments a limited resource for the actual consumers is probably the best way to get people to make reasonable avatar attachments. Just look at the render weight of furniture vs jewelry in SL. Of course that partially depends on them actually getting a workable way of detecting it.

http://blog.nalates.net/2016/03/10/ebbes-speech-shaking-things/
It looks like Sansar is being rolled out as something distinct and separate from SL and isn't precisely intended as its own 'virtual world.' It will have its own currency with an exchange between it and SL. It will not have a live editing function either, instead having some form of production mode for the entire sim and a publish mode for the entire sim.
Looks like their solution to the issue of potentially losing their user base with the massive hardware requirements will have (to the perception of your average LL bodied/no ALM peasant) is to simply regard them as two separate products which will require support in parallel.
