If you have to wear a mask (and you do), it might as well be a super cool, high-tech mask with a see-through plastic front, voice enhancement technology and RGB lighting effects.
Every year, at the annual Consumer Electronics Show, gaming hardware manufacturer Razer demonstrates conceptual projects that may or may not become real. This year, along with a transforming gaming chair with a retractable display, the company is showing off Project Hazel, “the world’s smartest face mask.” It is an N95 mask with dual rechargeable active fans for bidirectional filtration. The mask part is transparent so people can see your smiling face. The silicone frame ensures that the mask does not press against your nose and mouth. And yes, the filters have RGB lighting, which can serve as both charging indicators and decoration.
As a reusable mask, Project Hazel would come with a wireless charging box with UV light sterilization function. The idea is that people would wear this all day and then drop it in the box to clean it overnight.

Razer has done a great job on covid-19 relief over the past year, converting production lines to provide over a million disposable masks to primary care health workers. That said, Project Hazel is more in line with what I imagine when I hear the words “Razer Face mask”.
Razer’s second CES concept is Project Brooklyn. It’s a transforming gaming chair. It has a bendable screen that rises from the back of the headrest and a tray that folds out of the armrests.
It’s a pretty cool idea, although I don’t see this coming true anytime soon.
If this is the case, sign up for retrofitting an electric wheelchair.
