One of the concepts Razer showed off at CES earlier this year was a high-tech face mask called Project Hazel, and it looks like the company will turn that project into an actual product. Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan confirmed their plan with Yahoo Finance, but he hasn't said when it would enter production.

He divulged why Razer decided to develop Project Hazel. He said Razer realized people would want to mask up even after getting vaccinated as an extra precaution. Plus, many countries won't be able to vaccinate their entire population within the next couple of years, so Project Hazel will provide that additional protection for those who want it.

You'll look like a badass character from a video game while you're at it. The Project Hazel mask has RGB lighting and a transparent front cover so people can see your mouth. It even comes equipped with a built-in mic and speaker to amplify your voice.

The mask is designed to be effective as an N95 mask, complete with bacterial filtration efficiency pods that can trap 95 percent of airborne particles. It will also have adjustable straps for an airtight seal and vent out CO2 to bring in the fresh air.
