CES 2026 news: Razer AI-powered gaming headset revealed

CES is all about wacky concepts, and Razer showed one off at the 2026 showcase.

The gaming accessories giant has revealed a concept gaming headset called Project Motoko that does more than just stream audio and enable voice chat with friends. Much more, in fact. Motoko is actually a wearable, wireless AI device that is compatible with all major AI systems like Gemini and OpenAI and does many of the same things that a pair of smart glasses could do. Just, you know, in the form of a helmet instead of glasses.

By that I mean it can use first-person cameras positioned on the front of the device to recognize objects and text in real time, with language translation and document scanning provided as examples by Razer.

It also has multiple built-in microphones to recognize voice commands from the AI ​​assistant you want to use. It really looks, feature-wise, like it has parity with a number of AI-powered smart glasses that are on the market today, just in a different form factor.

Of course, the difference is that these glasses are actually on the market and the Motoko project is not. It’s just a concept, with no release date or price yet.
