Originally released in 2013 on the original Oculus Rift DK1, the HL2VR mod allowed early adopters to play through the entirety of Half-Life 2’s single-player campaign in VR with support for the Razer Hydra motion controllers.
Even Razer, a company that’s been making gaming laptops for a decade, has struggled… Read more. Anyone who has ever tried to buy a truly compact gaming laptop has probably faced this dilemma: Do you pick a bigger system for increased performance, or sacrifice fps and go with something smaller that’s a bit easier to carry around?
Starting as a hardware company and evolving into a software company as well, Razer is now also growing into an investing company. Announcing zVentures, a $30M venture capital fund , Razer will be strategically funding companies in the ioT, big data analytics, AR/VR, robotics, and Android gaming areas.
Razer is back with another batch of products targeted at streamers, including lights, an audio mixer, and a Bluetooth microphone that can be used anywhere.
I asked a Varjo spokesperson the reasons behind this choice and I got this answer: “The XR-3 and VR-3 represented the best visual fidelity possible to achieve in 2020, and in three years, the industry and technologies have leaped forward. The XR-4 series represents the pinnacle of XR technology today.
I admit it: I use Razer’s mechanical gaming keyboards and its smart lights to create a bit of an ~aesthetic~ in my office. And people like me are the reason why Razer launched a smart home app for its Chroma RGB lighting ecosystem. Read more.
The Elgato Stream Deck has been a staple for streamers, but now Razer is bringing in a totally new streaming console that gives it a run for its money.
We had at the same time the Game Developer Conference (the GDC) and the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) by NVIDIA, so we had lots of announcements about 3D technology in general and also about XR. And notwithstanding this new technology, it manages to also be smaller than the traditional Tracker.
Everyone I spoke with talked about an interesting event to attend for us XR people, and this shows that immersive realities are now in a quite mature status… to be niche technologies. MAIN HEADLINES Let me list for you what have been, in my opinion, the most important XR technologies from this CES. Details coming to @RtoVR soon.
Here’s an acquisition we’d have never seen coming; gaming peripheral maker and OSVR leader Razer has this week acquired THX. Razer has acquired the “majority” of the company’s assets, a press release states , though no financial details have been revealed. It may also mean big things for VR audio.
Razer already makes a wide range of laptops from 13-inches to 17-inches, but with the new Blade 14, Razer claims it’s made the most powerful 14-inch gaming laptop yet. Read more.
But now with its first-ever general productivity laptop, the Razer Book 13, Razer has just stolen that crown. A few years ago, I called the Huawei Matebook X Pro the closest thing you could get to a MacBook with Windows. The company even offers a few handy inclusions you don’t get on competing systems. So even though… Read more.
Razer’s latest laptop has arrived, but it’s not what we were expecting. Not only is this Razer Blade 15 doppelganger not meant for gaming, but it’s not even being sold by Razer. This unique new notebook is instead a collaboration between Razer and Lambda, a company that makes workstations, GPUs, and servers for… Read more.
Every CES , Razer reveals some far-out concept (like this year’s Project Sophia ) that grabs the headlines and excites its fanbase, but never materializes into a real product. That changed when Razer’s Project Hazel , an RGB-illuminated smart face mask, gained enough fanfare to force Razer into actually selling the thing.
Razer wants mobile streamers to sound as good as they look with a new wireless lapel mic that’s a lot less intrusive than wearing a big set of headphones with a mic jutting into your face. The company released the Razer Seiren BT today, retailing for $100. Read more.
Not according to Razer, which just announced its Razer Anzu Smart Glasses. I know, I know. Another pair of open-ear audio smart glasses? Were the Bose Frames, Echo Frames, and JLab JBuds not enough? Read more.
Razer’s laptop lineup now offers six different systems across various sizes and configs, but its largest and most powerful laptop was past due for a refresh. So today, Razer is updating its 17-inch gaming machine with a bunch of powerful new components—and a slightly tweaked name. Read more.
Every company wants to make a smartwatch, but Razer—a company best known for gaming peripherals decked out in RGB lighting—at least had the good sense this time to partner with an experienced watch maker. Read more.
Razer’s mechanical gaming keyboards are very good, but they go a little heavy on the gaming part. If you want the feel of a mechanical gaming keyboard without the aesthetic, Razer is toning it down with a new office-focused lineup. Read more.
Japan is a country always devoted to innovation, and at the forefront in some technological fields like robotics. This is very important for people like me that must be at the cutting edge of the technology. More info (Razer Qualcomm G3X) More info (Project Ironman) More info (iQiYi Adventure Dream) More info (Qualcomm Snapdragon 8).
When I reviewed the first-generation Razer Huntsman Elite , I liked its overt gamer look and was even a fan of the wraparound RGB lighting on the wrist-rest. But it had its drawbacks, too. It took up a ton of space on my desk, and while its purple optomechanical switches were comfortable to type on, they emitted a loud… Read more.
The THXAAA chip, as the company calls it, is an ASIC chip that’s being made in conjunction with Triad Semiconductor , a firm who has also worked with Valve to create components of the HTC Vive’s Lighthouse tracking technology. The THXAAA chip is the company’s first step into component offerings.
then Razer’s got you covered. Look, I admit that sweaty thumbs aren’t even one of my top 10 concerns while gaming, but for those worried about thumb sweat wrecking your KDA in Fortnite or Call of Duty: Mobile (????), Read more.
Following NVIDIA’s announcement of their new GeForce RTX 30 series mobile GPUs, Razer is among several laptop vendors today announcing new and updated laptops using the new hardware.

He has just launched a podcast where he speaks about future technologies and in this week’s episode he interviewed Idris Brewster, executive director at Kinfolk Foundation, and spoke with him about “Why AR matters”. If you have time to spend, give this video a look.
That’s partly why video gaming brand Razer acquired THX , an audiovisual certifying company founded by George Lucas in 1983 that’s expanding into the growing VR market. Creating a relentless virtual reality experience takes more than just visuals — audio is crucial, too.
There’s no way to sugarcoat it: Buying gadgets this year has been a nightmare. Products are out of stock, bots are reselling them at exorbitant markups, and there is no firm timeline for when the chip shortage—the major cause of this entire disaster—will improve. Read more.
The company built the technology behind the magnetically tracked Razer Hydra controller which was one of the only consumer-available 6DOF controllers available when the first Oculus Rift development kit (DK1) started shipping. Sixense was once a name central to the early VR community.
Virtual reality accessories are transforming the immersive technology landscape. They leverage innovative tracking sensors and technologies to provide users with a more natural, comfortable experience. For instance, solutions like the Meta Quest 3 controllers are explicitly designed for Meta technology.
Most probably yes, being SteamVR a technology by Valve.

I think that eye tracking is a disruptive technology for VR since it can enable a better UX , where you have just to look at objects to activate them (so you don’t need to rotate your head or move your hands every time). It was a headset made by Razer, completely opensource, from hardware to software. It was fully hackable.
It’s a (not very well-kept) secret that Apple has been working on mixed reality technology , and recent comments from CEO Tim Cook might indicate that we can look forward to an augmented iOS device.
