Razer came to CES 2025 ready to rumble with the announcement of the new Razer Blade 16, complete with AI and upgraded internals. But as it usually does at these shows, the company also showed off several eye-catching concepts, including a gaming chair with built-in fans.

 

Project Arielle Gaming Chair
 

Project Arielle can heat or cool someone as they game. It's based on and resembles Razer's Fujin Pro mesh chair. The difference is that Project Arielle has fans around the entire chair to keep a user's back and booty cool.

 

 

Razer says it used a bladeless fan system that pumps air through the chair onto its occupants to cool them down during long gaming sessions. The chair also features a PTC heater that generates heat. Everything is controlled with a touch panel.

 

Project Ava AI Gaming Coach
 

Next up is Project Ava, an AI esports coach that analyzes a gamer's play in real-time and offers tips on how to improve.

 

"Gamers can master the meta for any competitive game with real-time pro insights as they play—driven by data from Team Razer's top coaches and players," Razer says. "Gamers can analyze and review performance with a personalized post-match recap that can highlight key plays and areas of improvement."

 

 

The AI also includes built-in game guides to help solve puzzles or beat tricky bosses, and a one-click settings tune helps gamers get the best combination of performance and graphics. Per Razer, it'll even talk to you while you game to give you suggestions if requested.
 

PC Remote Play

 

Razer also announced a beta of PC Remote Play, which allows gamers to play PC games from their phones via the Razer Nexus app, similar to Valve's Steam Link. The Razer Nexus app for Android and iOS runs on Android 14 or iOS 18 and up, as well as Windows PCs.
