Harmonix demos a music visualizer for Project Morpheus VR
Harmonix, the creators of the Guitar Hero, Rock Band and Dance Central franchises, is working on a new title for Sony's Project Morpheus VR headset and... it's odd. The company has basically created the VR equivalent of those gnarly music visualizers that people used to love in Winamp and Windows Media Player. Harmonix Music VR can take any song and generate a unique visualization. By choosing between a number of different "worlds," you will have some control over what type of visualisation you see, but the idea is still for each track to look as different as they sound. "Sometimes fireflies show up to compliment a relaxing melody, and sometimes stars descend to engulf you in synthetic spirals of color," explains creative lead Jon Carter. There's no release date for Music VR just yet, but the Morpheus headset itself is set to launch in the first quarter of 2016.
