I Wore Razer’s Project Motoko: Like Smart Glasses, but in Headphone Form

I wore camera-enabled over-ear headphones that tap into AI. Razer says they’re going to be an actual product someday. It’s not as weird as you’d think. Or maybe it is.

I’ve been down this road before: I look at something in front of me, snap a photo and ask AI services for advice about what I’m looking at. I’ve done it with Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses and countless others, but this time I was wearing a pair of over-ear headphones with a camera in each cup at Razer’s CES 2026 demo suite.

Project Motoko is Razer’s latest wild stab at new gaming tech at this year’s CES, but it’s actually not as wild as I expected. I mean that in a good way. Motoko is meant to be worn while gaming, or doing anything else. Why these over smart glasses? You don’t have to deal with wearing glasses at all, and the promised battery life with AI-connected services switched on is 36 hours. That’s way beyond what any pair of smart glasses I’ve worn can do.

The headphones use a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip inside, although I wasn’t told which one. It’s something that will likely change when this idea becomes an actual product. And reps at Razer I spoke to say that’s definitely happening, at some point, at a price that would be competitive with smart glasses. Right now, Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses start at around $300.

There are dual Sony 4K 12MP cameras on Project Motoko, good enough for photos or video (although how good they’d look, I don’t know). I also don’t know how good Motoko sounds as headphones, since my demo was entirely focused on using the microphones to ask AI questions while a nearby speaker broadcast the answers.

Motoko could connect to a PC or a future mobile app, and the plan is to make the headphones AI-agnostic, plugging into whatever platform you want. That’s another advantage they have over current smart glasses, which generally funnel you to one AI service.

I’m glad I checked these out, because I don’t think this will be the last time I wear headphones with cameras in them. Qualcomm is often a harbinger of new tech products to come, and a lot more people wear headphones than glasses. It’s likely a sign of what could come next in the ongoing wave of camera-enabled AI wearables. Now I’m wondering when we’ll see this technology in earbuds.
