Project Motoko, an AI headset with a built-in laser camera‘

Razer unveiled its AI wearable concept headset, Project Motoko, at CES 2026. Instead of smart glasses, the headset-style device combines dual first-person cameras with a Snapdragon-based chipset to recognize the user's view.

Project Motoko uses cameras embedded in the earcups to read objects and text in real time and provide context-sensitive responses. Razer cited features like translation and document scanning, and also revealed that it features multiple microphones for voice commands.

The core of this concept is universal AI connectivity. Razer emphasized compatibility with major AI platforms, including OpenAI and Gemini. The company argued that, given the high number of headset users, this could be a more natural fit than glasses-style wearables.

Game-related scenarios also came to the forefront. Interactive assistance was offered, such as sharing a view to ask for boss strategies or receive recommendations for the next build. At the same time, non-game scenarios, such as summarizing book content or suggesting cooking recipes, were also introduced.

However, Project Motoko is still in the concept stage. Pricing and release dates have not been announced, and it's unclear whether it will lead to actual products. Razer also mentioned that point-of-view data could be used to aid robotics learning and AI model development.
