Razer unveils concepts for RGB face mask and captivating play chair

Razer likes to grow up at CES. In recent years, the company has shown everything from a triple monitor laptop to a fully immersive review simulator. This year, Razer is showcasing two concept projects: a sleek play chair and a high-tech face mask equipped with RGB lighting in true Razer fashion.

Razer CES 2021 – Project Hazel

Project Hazel is a ‘smart’ mask from Razer. It uses a removable, rechargeable active ventilation system to regulate airflow, with N95 medical respiratory protection mask to filter at least 95% of the air particles. The design also has a transparent front panel so people can see your facial expressions, or when communicating with deaf or hard of hearing people, read your lips. The mask also uses VoiceAmp technology with a built-in microphone and amplifier to prevent the mask from muting your voice. And to top it off, of course, it includes Razer Chroma RGB lighting.

Of course, to be clear, Project Hazel is merely a draft project and is unlikely to come to fruition in its current form, even if it is. That being said, it’s nice to see businesses think of ways to tackle some common complaints about masks, as it’s becoming an important part of everyday life.

Razer’s other concept this year is Project Brooklyn, an all-in-one immersive gaming chair. The idea is an ergonomic chair with built-in haptic feedback and a retractable, enclosed curved screen. Footage is presented by a 60-inch rollable OLED screen that pulls into the chair and folds when not in use. Similarly, the armrests can be adjusted and retracted, depending on whether you are playing on the computer with the mouse and the keyboard or the console with a controller. Again, this is just a draft product that will probably never exist, at least in its current form.

In terms of genuine products, at CES, Razer also unveiled new versions of its Blade 15 and 17 laptops, especially with a new 1440p screen option.
