# CES2015: Razer introduces an Android console viewer VR and … – unocero

One of the companies I usually do “unexpected” results for each CES is Razer. Last year introduced a Smart watches to monitor the user’s health – something somewhat contradictory for a brand product gamer – and this time gets a little more to your lawn an Android console, virtual reality viewer and the second generation of Nabu brac elet.

Razer Forge TV

This is a tiny console to compete with a small market dedicated to bringing Android games on TV household products, however, Razer Forge TV has an advantage backed by Google as one of the first devices to include the redesigned Android TV, and includes a Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, Adreno 420 GPU and 16GB of storage <. / p>

While one might think that this is just a “device’s” enabling “smart back” to any TV, Razer goes beyond them with Forge TV do streaming – through the service called “Cortex Stream” – virtually any game that runs on a PC to play directly on the television using the remote control Razer -. which, incidentally, is compatible with other devices like smartphones

Unlike products Nvidia Shield , which allow streaming from the PC but only if you have an Nvidia graphics card with TV Forge also be installed perform the operation if you have a GPU from AMD. This will also work with Steam Games, Origin, etc. and the transmission is in 1080p

Finally, Razer created Turret Lapboard keyboard that is designed to play PC titles but in the room, placing the peripheral leg if so desired; even has a mouse that uses a magnet to stay in place and avoid unexpected falls.

The Forge TV price will be $ 99 or $ 149 with control, while the keyboard will cost $ 129.

OSVR

The Open Source Virtual Reality project is part of an effort between several companies, including Razer, Leap Motion, Nod or Sixense. The concept is quite ambitious, although onset may seem meaningless: create “the Android virtual reality”, ie, the basis of development of technology in VR or Virtual Reality, which is seen as one of the possible ways industry will take gaming in the near future.

For now Razer created a device specifications” unimpressive ” but in order to do what is needed in terms of hardware and software for the best experience, he is also offering access to a development kit so that more people are interested in creating content for virtual reality of any kind . Will have to see how the OSVR develops, for now you can find more information at this link .

Razer Nabu X

Finally, the second generation the Nabu bracelet that tracks user activity is the Nabu X. This device – eliminating the screen of the first model and replaced by colored LEDs – is simpler and will have a more affordable price than the issue with display .

While the original Nabu will cost around $ 100 (still not the sale) the “X” version will cost only $ 20 for a chosen few, or $ 50 at market price. This product has accelerometer and monitors the daily activity, connects via Bluetooth to a smartphone to share statistics, vibrates, lasts up to seven days on a single charge and displays notifications through the LEDs.
