Наушники — Razer Project Motoko

Project Motoko is a concept headset that Razer, the gaming hardware company, unveiled at CES 2026. Razer describes it as an AI-native wireless headset. Rather than putting cameras on a pair of glasses, it places them in the earcups of an over-ear headphone that resembles Razer's Barracuda gaming headsets, arguing that headphones are already worn all day by commuters, gamers and office workers. Razer has since said the project is moving towards a commercial product, without announcing price or date.

Key specs that matter

The headset uses closed over-ear earcups and connects wirelessly. It carries dual first-person-view cameras, one in each earcup, positioned near eye level. Processing runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon platform. Multiple microphones cover near and far fields. It is designed to work with major AI platforms, including those from OpenAI, Google Gemini and Grok. No display is required. Razer offered a developer kit for the second quarter of 2026.

Engineering and use context

The two cameras sit at roughly the wearer's eye line, so the AI sees what the wearer is looking at. Using two cameras gives stereoscopic vision with depth information and a wide field of attention that extends beyond human peripheral vision. The system recognises objects, text and symbols in real time. The microphone array works in two ways, capturing the wearer's voice commands and also picking up dialogue and environmental sound within view, which the AI can process together with the images. Answers and guidance are delivered as audio through the headphone drivers, so no screen is needed. Razer's examples include translating street signs, step-by-step cooking guidance, summarising documents, tracking gym repetitions, instructions for repairs and in-game guidance. The company also proposes the headset as a way to capture human point-of-view data, including depth and attention patterns, for training robots. Controls are hands-free, and the headset handles audio settings through them. As a concept, specifications such as driver size, battery life and weight have not been published.

Pairing

Motoko works with the AI platforms of the user's choice through its Snapdragon processor rather than depending on one ecosystem. As a headset with speakers, it also serves for music and calls when the AI functions are not in use.

Alternatives

Razer's Barracuda is the wireless gaming headset range whose design Project Motoko resembles.
