At this year’s CES, the Project Ariana gaming projector by Razer won official “Best Gaming” show honours, as well as distinction as this year’s “People’s Choice” from Engadget, the official awards partner of CES, who also nominated the device for “Best Home Theater Product” and “Best Disruption Tech” awards.

Project Ariana takes environmental information from within a video game and intelligently projects it around a room, virtually engulfing a player in real-time action previously reserved for on-screen entertainment only.

Razer achieved the remarkable abilities of Project Ariana using its Razer Chroma lighting technology and combining it with laser sensors, 4k video projection technology and game code integration in partnership with publishers. The projector experience is additionally combined with custom lighting features on Razer gaming projects and ambient smart lighting and THX-certified surround sound devices. Each element is able to react with games in real-time by way of Razer Chroma software for an immersive visual and auditory experience.

Razer plans to develop Project Ariana into a consumer-ready model by the end of this year. The company is welcoming feedback on Razer’s Facebook and Twitter pages for those interested in shaping the future of the projector prototype.
