Razer CEO talks Nabu, the Internet of Things and making products for gamers

Tan divulged that the prototype Nabu smartband will see some changes (as prototypes are wont to do) before public release. Namely, he wants it to rock a blockier, less sporty look - one that will mesh with someone wearing a suit, he said.

TR: You've clearly seen how wearables have gained momentum in recent months. What are your thoughts on the tech as a whole?

Tan: Where we see wearables [is] it's an incredibly difficult space. It looks easy from the outside, but it's intensely difficult if you delve deep into it. Wearables are very different from technology. What you wear, you don't consider it in terms of specs. You wear it because of comfort. You wear it because of aesthetics. That's what we're great at. In fact, something people don't know is that we ship a lot of clothing under the Razer brand. I can't think of a single technology company that sells more clothing than we do today. We sell shirts, hoodies and stuff like that. That, in itself, makes us on the forefront of everyone else.

R: Alright, Min. You guys have a wearable now. You have Project Christine. What's next for Razer? Where can you go from here?

Tan: I think everybody knows. As long as you're a person passionate about gaming or technology, whatever you can dream about that your excited about, and you think, 'Holy sh*t that would be cool,' we're probably thinking about it at Razer.

It's one of those things that as long as there's cool stuff happening, there's probably one guy somewhere, somehow in Razer - even if I tell the guy not to - he's probably still going to do it.
