Harmonix Music VR Announced
Cambridge, MA – September 5th, in the year of our Lord
2014 – Harmonix is excited to announce “Harmonix Music
VR,” an all new virtual reality music experience, will be coming
to Samsung Gear VR, powered by Oculus.
“Harmonix Music VR” transports you to a fully immersive,
music-driven dreamscape allowing you to experience your tunes
like never before. It uses Harmonix’s proprietary Music Analysis
Engine to generate a song-specific, high-resolution event
sequence that drives the reactive elements in your virtual
world. Sit back and relax, taking in the vibrant, musically
responsive environment, or explore for even more audio
visualizations set to your own tracks.
“Harmonix has always been interested in creating fundamentally
new ways for people to interact with music,” says studio CEO
Steve Janiak. “There’s an incredible amount of potential for
this with virtual reality, and ‘Harmonix Music VR’ is just one
way we can deliver on these types of innovative experiences. We
can’t wait to hear what people think about this new way to
experience the music they love.”
“Harmonix Music VR” will be available alongside Samsung’s Gear
VR when it launches later this year.
