How Harmonix made its psychedelic music trip for PlayStation VR

Harmonix Music Systems has always been about experimentation — with a lot of weird, trippy, musical games. So it’s no surprise that the company is announcing its Harmonix Music VR app as an exclusive for the Sony PlayStation VR virtual reality headset this October.

The game is a four-part app that takes the player on a psychedelic trip. You can watch a 3D music visualizers with beautiful art and pulse-pounding music. You can enjoy a visit to a beach on an alien planet. And you can go to a wacky dance party with cute dancing creatures.
