hardware canucks CES coverage is made possible by our partner Nvidia it is also made possible thanks to Corsair fantex and NCIX without them we wouldn't be here we stopped by the razer booth at CES this year and they have some cool accessories that could spice up your current gaming setup let's start with the newly announced star gazer the world's most advanced webcam you may be wondering what's so advanced about it let me talk you through some cool features the sensor can streams 720p at 60 frames per second and that's the maximum quality this is because razer told us that this resolution was the popular setting for streaming among gamers but the video feed is directed via USB 3 pi know so there's that limitation you can capture but not stream 1080p video at 30 frames per second razer partnered up with intel to deliver some of their realsense technology to bring next-generation features to users today one of the cool features is dynamic background removal this essentially removes the need to set up a green-screen and go through the whole process of isolating yourself on the background with the help of our depth sensing technology we're able to remove the background and still achieve a professional grade stream with the Stargazer another feature is called 3d scanning this can highly be useful for game developers who can import scanned objects directly into unity or any other API for further and the best part is that gamers will be able to scan their faces or any other objects right into their favorite game huge props to intel and razer for bringing this into reality there are a lot of applications that can take advantage of the facial and district inside the Stargazer like unlocking our computer using windows hello launch applications with just a wave of the hand and even play gestured enable games the Stargazer is set to be priced around two hundred dollars and shipping starts around q2 the next piece of gear razer announced was their new Naboo watch from all the smartwatches we've come across Razer is approaching this device with a regular watch that's smarter from first impressions I thought that this watch looked just like any other sporty looking watch but what's new here is the built-in notification display that syncs via bluetooth on your phone and every time you receive a notification on your phone the Naboo watch vibrates and displays the notification this also acts as a fitness tracking device so you can track the steps walked the distance traveled and the calories burned and the main button lets you cycle through them the battery life of the smart module lasts for about seven days and it can be charged via the three pins beneath the unit via the magnetic charger the standard digital chronograph is set to last for about twelve months so stay tuned for our full review on both these devices
