Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan is working on a "non-game" virtual reality experience based on the TV show.

Variety reports Gilligan will be teaming up with Sony's PlayStation division. However, beyond Gilligan's direct involvement not much else is known about the VR project, including a release window, whether it'll be episodic, and which stars are attached.

The project came about when Sony brought in seven high-profile TV showrunners to its campus, including David Shore (The Blacklist) and Ron Moore (Battlestar Galactica), to try out its VR technology.  "They just played around with VR," said Andrew House, global chief executive of Sony Interactive Entertainment. "Several of them were intrigued, but Vince was the one who said, ‘I really want to do something with this. I want to experiment with this.'”

The Breaking Bad experience will be created using computer graphics, with Sony's video game division working closely with Gilligan. IMAX and Warner Bros. are also making VR experience based on DC movies, including Aquaman and Justice League.
