Details are sketchy at this point. Harmonix Music VR is described as “a fully immersive, music-driven dreamscape allowing you to experience your tunes like never before.” The app uses Harmonix’s proprietary software to read your music and create a reactive virtual landscape around it. From the sound of things, it’s a music visualizer adapted for virtual reality. Expect it to be huge in Colorado, where smoking marijuana is now 100-percent legal.

“Harmonix has always been interested in creating fundamentally new ways for people to interact with music,” studio CEO Steve Janiak said in a statement. “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.”
The Harmonix Music VR app will be available with the Gear VR at launch, later in 2014.
