TL;DR At CES 2026, Razer revealed Project Motoko, an AI-powered headphone concept with built-in cameras that can answer questions and understand its surroundings via voice commands.
Razer is pitching headphones as a new way to control AI, offering environmental awareness and support for major AI platforms, though it remains a concept with no product plans confirmed.
Razer also showcased new AI-focused accessories at the event, including the Wolverine V3 BT controller designed for ultra-low-latency gaming on compatible LG TVs.
Razer is no stranger to showing off cool concept ideas at trade shows like CES, including stuff like a high-tech facemask and a climate-controlled chair. This year, the company has something equally innovative to share in the form of Project Motoko. At first glance, you’d assume that these were simply a pair of Bluetooth headphones, but underneath you’ll find an incredible amount of AI-powered smarts.

Although many companies have been pushing the idea of glasses using AI, AR, and other cutting-edge technologies, Razer feels that headphones are a better choice for AI wearables. While you won’t have a display to augment the world around you, Project Motoko is still very much aware of its environment, thanks to its Dual FOV cameras with 3K/60 spatial video capabilities. You’ll be able to ask Motoko a variety of things by saying “Hey, Motoko”, including weather requests, direction information, general questions, and more.
The inclusion of camera technology also means you can ask for relevant information about objects, locations, and people as well. There’s also universal AI platform compatibility for ChatGPT, Meta, Gemini, and several others.
