Turning your wall into an extended gaming screen is as awesome as it sounds
LAS VEGAS -- Razer's three-screen laptop behemoth wasn't the only ridiculous concept device the gaming company unveiled at CES 2017.
Project Ariana, the projector that extends games off your main computer monitor or TV and onto your friggin' walls is just as awesome. Seriously, projectors have never been this cool before. Ever.
In a private room, Razer let me check out Ariana. To recap, the projector has two depth cameras that can scan a room and detect where the main display is.
Once it knows the size of the room and the position of the main gaming screen, the fisheye lens kicks into action and projects an extended field of view around it, creating a more immersive gaming experience.
So games feel larger than they really are:
Words can't do Ariana justice, so here are two videos that show Ariana in action:
If that doesn't make you giddy like a schoolchild, nothing will.
Razer only showed me what gaming looks like with Ariana, but movies can also work with the projector.
