Razer's Project Hazel is a concept N95-class face mask first shown at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), and new details reveal it is being built with gaming in mind. The American consumer electronics company has designed it so wearers can stay active outdoors without breathing trouble, while a rechargeable UV box keeps the mask sanitized. Here is what the latest information tells us.
Project Hazel built for outdoor gaming
According to the new information, this is an N95-class face mask that is also being manufactured for a gaming purpose. The idea is that you can wear it while playing outdoor games without struggling to breathe.
To make that possible, Razer is designing the mask with a ventilation function. The company claims the hot air produced by your breath inside the mask will be pushed out through ventilation, while fresh outside air is drawn in.
Hands-free calls and a transparent front
The mask also includes an amplifier with a built-in mic, so it can connect to your smartphone. When a call comes in, you will not need to remove the mask. You can talk hands-free, and speakers are included so you can listen as well.
The front of the mask uses a transparent panel described as Hulk Black glass. It has lights inside, built with low-light technology, so your face stays clearly visible in the dark.
- Your mouth is visible during conversation, helping communication feel more natural.
- An auto mode can turn the interior lights on automatically.
- Two finishes are planned: black and white color options.
Rechargeable UV sterilizer box
Razer plans to ship the mask with a dedicated box. Keeping the mask in the box charges it, and UV sterilizer lights inside the box sanitize the mask between uses. The company has not said how long the mask takes to charge.
Project Hazel price and availability
For now, Project Hazel remains a concept model, so there is no confirmed information about its price or sales. Razer has not said which countries will get it. For more coverage like this, browse our gadgets section.
