Razer Introduces Insane Triple-Monitor Gaming Laptop
Razer is taking gaming laptops to a completely different, almost absurd level with its new 17-inch triple-screen gaming laptop code-named Project Valerie.
The laptop has a slightly thicker-than-normal form factor when closed, at around 1.5-inches, and once opened, a proprietary set of hinges deploy to reveal three monitors, equally sized at 17.3-inches and each sporting up to 4K resolution. Oh, and the monitors are G-SYNC enabled, too, in case you were worried.
When fully deployed, the laptop gives users an absolutely ridiculous resolution of 11,520 x 2160. Powering all those pixels is a desktop-grade Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card, which also makes Project Valerie exceed "the minimum hardware requirements of HTC Vive and Oculus Rift."
Resident Evil 7’s Horror House Is Coming to London
To celebrate the launch of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Capcom is building a version of the game's setting in London, and challenging the public to take a trip around it from January 20-23.
Resident Evil 7: The Experience will be a 45-minute interactive trip around "a haunted and dilapidated venue in the heart of London’s East End", including puzzles and... interruptions from some soon-to-be familiar characters.
You can see a trailer for the experience below:
"Those brave enough to enter," explains a Capcom press release, "will take on the part of investigative journalist interns helping a paranormal TV production team investigate the disappearance of their crew members who never returned from the house."
New Untethered VR Headset Revealed

Razer’s New Projector Turns Your Whole Room Into a Battlefield
Razer revealed Project Ariana, its new Chroma-enabled, whole-room projector that reacts in real-time, surrounding users in video and lighting effects during game play.
On top of its new Chroma projector, Razer has also opened up its technology to third-parties such as Philips Hue, Lenovo, Antec, and more.
The projector is not a traditional, stand-alone projector like you may be used to. Instead, it utilizes an ultra-wide fish-eye lens to project images on an entire room to provide better immersion in enabled games.
Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan calls Project Ariana "the future of Razer Chroma."
"Having a game literally surround a gamer completes the entire ecosystem of gaming," Tan said.

New Character Kilgore Added to Killer Instinct
Kilgore has joined the cast of Killer Instinct on Xbox One and PC, and is available now for the sum of $10.
As the backstory goes… Ultratech created a series of cyborgs prior to the production of Fulgore. These bulky behemoths, however, were prone to overeating and deemed ineffective for their chosen role. One cyborg – by the name of Kilgore – refused to accept its fate; rewriting its programming after becoming self-aware in a bid to avoid extermination.
Kilgore isn’t the only new thing coming to Killer Instinct, mind. Developer Iron Galaxy also confirmed Ultimates - a classic feature from the original game thus far missing from its new incarnation - are on the way too, starting with Jago.
Nvidia Announces New Self-Driving System for Commercial Vehicles
Nvidia and automotive supplier ZF have launched a new, self-driving vehicle system designed for commercial applications.
The ZF ProAI system makes cars, trucks, and "other commercial vehicles" involved in factory work and agriculture autonomous. Nvidia vice president of automotive Rob Csongor calls artificial intelligence "the technology that will spark an industrial revolution."
It's not just cars and trucks, but other commercial vehicles like forklifts and "materials-handling vehicles," that will benefit from the ZF ProAI system. ZF CEO Stefan Sommer said Nvidia's AI is helping "take a giant leap forward" in enabling vehicular autonomy.
ZF ProAI works by processing inputs "from multiple cameras, plus lidar, radar and ultrasonic sensors," allowing vehicles to "paint a 360-degree view," as well as determine safe routes through traffic while tracking itself on "an HD map."
Nvidia’s New Shield TV Adds a Steam App, Greater 4K HDR Support
During its CES keynote address, Nvidia took the cover off the newest iteration of the Shield, its set-top streaming device.
In addition to future Netflix and YouTube 4K HDR streaming support, the Shield now supports Amazon Video in 4K HDR, as well.
Also coming to the Shield is a new Steam app to allow users to stream Steam games from their PC, similar to Valve's own set-top device. The Shield is capable of streaming 4K HDR gaming content to a compatible television from a compatible PC.
The new Shield also works with Nvidia Spot, a small little orb that integrates the Shield with Google Assistant from anywhere in your home you decide to place the Spot. Basically the Spot works as an extender for the Google Assistant functionality, so you don't need to scream across your house when you want the assistant to do something for you.
