Razer is no stranger to sticking weird stuff in gaming chairs. The Razer Freyja threw in some haptic feedback sensors into one. Project Carol upped the ante and threw in a 7.1 audio soundsystem. Now, in what looks like an idea ripped off a Linus Tech Tips video, Razer's Project Arielle shows off the world's first gaming chair with active cooling.
Project Arielle uses a bladeless fan to heat or cool your gaming chair. It essentially bakes in a heat exchanger into a Razer Fujin Pro and gives you the ability to control your seating conditions via a touch panel on the armrest. Depending on where you live, you can use the Project Arielle to heat/cool your chair. For users in colder areas, the chair can operate at up to 30o C.
Based on Razer's visuals, the chair requires a dedicated power source to operate. Other details about it are still a mystery, but they should turn up eventually. Nevertheless, it is still early in development and might not even make it to a final product. For now, only CES 2025 attendees can experience it at Razer's booth.
