Razer will release its N95 medical-grade facemask with Chroma RGB

Razer appear a concept facemask called Project Hazel in January. The facemask features a transparent design so that people tin can run into your facial expressions, besides equally several hi-tech components. While Project Hazel was initially just a concept, Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan told Yahoo Finance that the company is working to make it into a reality.

On the protection side of things, Project Hazel features N95 medical-grade respirators with "detachable and rechargeable active ventilators and Smart Pods." The Smart Pods accept high bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) to remove 95 percent of airborne particles with a "loftier fluid resistance."

But Razer isn't just making a safety and comfortable facemask; it also has tech built-in. Communication through the mask should be much easier than normal textile masks because information technology has VoiceAmp tech. This "uses a congenital-in microphone and amplifier to heighten the user's speech." It also has a clear design and then people can come across your lips and facial expressions.

The mask also has interior lights that go far easier for people to see you in different lighting conditions. It also has "2 customizable Razer Blush RGB lighting zones offering sixteen.8 million colors and a suite of dynamic lighting effects."

Razer discussed Project Hazel back in January in a video:

Tan told Yahoo Finance:

We were thinking, this is a concept project and is this going to be relevant when vaccinations and everything has been rolled out. I remember moving forward we decided — and I tin can tell you at present — nosotros are going to continue in making it a reality and ship the smart mask.

While many countries and regions are doing well in terms of vaccination efforts, there are still risks that these masks tin help protect people from. Tan explained the several factors involved:

We've realised that even with vaccinations we are hearing you even so have to exist masked upwards because there is yet the risk factor that fifty-fifty if y'all're vaccinated, you still need to be incredibly careful. Secondly, there are as well many countries that are unlikely that are going to get the whole [calibration] of vaccinations in the next yr or even two so travelling everyone should be very conscientious.

So with that in mind, we are going to go alee and solve the sustainable attribute of the mask which is i of the big things for us. Project Hazel is going to be a reality. We are going to brand it happen, and I think we will all volition be, unfortunately, wearing masks for a long future.
