Face masks, these days, are already turning into necessity ever since the emergence of the global pandemic. And Razer, one of the world’s leading lifestyle brands for gamers, has also recently revealed their interest in making a face mask of their own.
“When the COVID-19 pandemic first hit, there’s a massive global shortage of medical grade masks. Today, we have donated more than one million masks globally, but now that we’re well and truly settled into this new normal we see the need for a face mask that is safe, social and sustainable.”
– Charlie Bolton, Director of Design at Razer Inc.
Razer has introduced a head-turner, futuristic surgical N95 respirator with a gas mask look, which is, of course, equipped with their signature Razer Chroma RGB, plus a voice amplifier technology. “Face the new normal with protection that’s far from average,” even stated the brand.
The new reusable N95 respirator conceptualized by Razer is currently known as Project Hazel, and as the gaming brand claims, it is the most intelligent mask ever created.
