Now Road to VR has learned that Hurd’s next project will be a virtual reality music video created in collaboration with VR production studio WEVR.

Hurd calls the forthcoming experience, “An overwhelmingly happy 360 degree parade dance party full of bright colors, fun stylized characters, eccentric silly dancing in a dynamic changing environment with you in the center of the craziness,” and says it will be similar in style to BUTTS.
