E3 2015: Harmonix Music VR is coming to Project Morpheus

On PlayStation.Blog, game designer Jon Carter announced Harmonix Music VR is coming to Project Morpheus (Sony’s upcoming virtual reality PS4 device). With the return of guitar titles, it looks exciting to see a game developer bringing music into the world of VR.

According to Carter, “it (Harmonix Music VR) will take any song you give it and generates a unique, musically-driven event sequence. The resulting experiences range from subtly magical to outright psychedelic, depending on the world you select.”

For music fans, this music visualizer app seems exciting. Unlike previous visualizers, the use of virtual reality will open new frontiers. “With Harmonix Music VR, we have control over every aspect of your surroundings, using our internally-developed, amazingly effective song analysis voodoo. We still use real-time data, but we can also look at the entire song, break it into sections, identify specific drum hits, and even categorize the feel of song sections to drive the visual and environmental transformations.”
