Harmonix Music Systems – Augmented & Virtual Reality Confabulation

Earlier today it was announced that Harmonix Music Systems was bringing another form of music to virtual reality (VR) with the Gear VR title SingSpace, where you essentially sing your heart out in your own venue.

In the trailer below you can see how you are in the centre of the stage with a large screen in front of you with the lyrics, surrounded by cheery monitors that enjoy your singing as well as avatars. What is also shown is the fact that you can get into the groove with multiplayer as you can enjoy “karaoke with friends, wherever they may be”.

All else we know about this title is that it will be coming out in Spring of next year, but until then there will be more announcements to be made.

Along with the long list of reveals and announcements that has come from this year’s Oculus Connect comes a more lighthearted Gear VR title from the popular Harmonix Music Systems. Rather than mastering intricate finger moves or organising a whole setting to the beat, this one requires your voice.

SingSpace is a karaoke title for the Gear VR, coming to the mobile-based head-mounted display (HMD) in 2017. There isn’t much shared about this, but what we can see is the bulky cartoon avatars and environment that you’ll be playing in, and that each of the avatars are customisable so that you can really get into it. From the images shown from the title it is apparent that you will be performing in the center with screens around showing your avatar, as if it was just you singing. Check out all of the screenshots below to get a real feel for SingSpace.

Harmonix Music has also created Harmonix Music VR, which is a way in which you can visually enjoy music using the PlayStation VR. There are four different levels to kick back and relax in, or equally get creative. Another title that Harmonix has brought to VR is the Rock Band franchise, and Oculus is so invested in this title that each Oculus Touch will be shipping with a guitar mount for Rock Band VR.
