Razer announced a concept AI wearable at CES that resembles a pair of wireless headphones (or Razer’s Barracuda gaming headsets, to be precise), with two camera lenses built into the ear cups.
The current iteration of Project Motoko is powered by an unspecified Qualcomm Snapdragon chip and uses dual first-person-view cameras positioned at eye level to capture objects, text, and anything else around you. There are also multiple microphones for receiving voice commands, dialogue, and environmental audio, and hands-free controls for managing audio settings.
Motoko is designed to be compatible with all major AI models, including those from OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Grok. The wearable “interprets and responds instantly, acting as a full-time AI assistant that adapts to schedules, preferences, and habits,” according to Razer, and will be able to understand context “instantly.”
But what’s it for?
for nothing in particular, whatever you want.
What a sale’s pitch!
The same kind of sale’s pitch for wood, or steel or a screwdriver: buy it if you want it to do whatever you want with them.
Not everything needs a sale’s pitch. That’s kind of my point: a portable video camera that goes with you everywhere is cool tech as a raw material, like wood or steel.
Some people wouldn’t get the value of a piece of wood because they don’t have the skills to turn it into anything they want/need. Instead, they want somebody to overcharge them for renting a “table service” that they can only use 60 times per month in the basic plan. It is that people that need a “sale’s pitch” to convince them to buy the stupid “pro table plan”.
Holy false equivalencies, Batman!
