Razer's digital watch for gamers — CES 2016 interview

2016-01-07
hey guys with back here at CES 2016 I'm glad and with me now is hella MA from razor and he's going to talk to us about a couple of new products of the company's introducing here first up there's the reasonably watch well just taking a look at it from the outside everybody's going to say very obvious saying it looks like a casio g-shock watch so have you combine a casio g-shock watch with smart features from smart watches that's what happening here we've designed what we think is a razor design digital watch that has full features like alarm stopwatch and then we put a secondary screen at the bottom of the watch that displays notifications that you get from your iOS or Android devices directly to your wrist so basically the digital watch the things up when you phoned us really what we're looking at and it's very rugged but razor is a gaming company so is there any game angle to this product yeah definitely so one thing that the Naboo element does is watch to watch communication so what that means is it's a little bit like a 3ds streetpass functionality where two people are wearing the watch or one person who is wearing the watch or and another person is wearing the reasonable man can shake hands and copy exchange contact information but what I'm getting it is this is an open platform that we're designing and that we have an SDK for that other companies and app makers can use and make apps to utilize that functionalities for example we have an app maker that made an app where you shake hands and you can add each other on Steam and compare steam profiles the entry level watches 149 99 and it's available right now on register you can pre-order it in ships end of this month there's also more expensive version that comes with a few more metallized parts same functionalities and it's 14 199 looking at the stand here this is your new webcam except raise the Stargazer could you give us a quick run through what it does for streamers who already streaming the game content at 60 frames per second this is great because now they can stream themselves to match with that 60 frames a second and the reason why it has you know all the sensors on the front is because it has intel realsense technology built-in am I correct in thinking this is the first external webcam that has real sense built in yes is where the first one that brings this to market in the big way and why real sense matters to game is is being able to isolate the background because it has that perception you can have the streamers face down in the corner but there is no background abscess normally it would need a huge green screen set up behind you with what lighting and a screen behind you that takes up a whole room basically with this camera you can do it right in camera so you can take this with you if you're traveling as a streamer for example you always have that cut out silhouette of yourself right on the stream this is going to come out in q2 this year and it's going to be 199 so that's it from razor guys stay tuned to the birds you can find us on the verge com or on youtube.com slash diverge
