At CES 2021, Razer reveals smart mask and video gaming chair to give gamers a taste of the future
- Billed as the world’s most socially friendly face covering, the smart mask’s ventilation and filtration systems filter out 95 per cent of airborne particles
- The gaming chair has a 60-inch flexible OLED panoramic display that rolls out and retracts, and tactile feedback. At this stage it is still just a concept
Video games often deliver futuristic outlooks, with adventures such as Halo and The Last of Us. But game hardware company Razer has an imaginative vision of how you might play games in the near future: the Project Brooklyn concept gaming chair.
Built of carbon fibre, the gaming chair, unveiled at this year’s CES trade show, has a 60-inch flexible OLED panoramic display that rolls out and retracts, surrounding your field of vision.
And you will feel the game, too, with tactile feedback built into the cockpit-style seat. Adjustable armrests can be used for a mouse or made into a tabletop for a full keyboard.
“Project Brooklyn is an exciting concept developed on the true essence of a fully immersive gaming station,” said Min-Liang Tan, co-founder and CEO of Razer, in a statement as part of the announcement. “The haptic feedback, visuals and overall functional design with attention to ergonomics will deliver a one-of-a-kind gameplay experience.”
The concept product builds on Razer’s Iskur ergonomic gaming chair, introduced in October 2020, and is a boon for mobile, console and computer gamers, many of whom may not have room for a fully fledged gaming set-up.
