CES 2023: Razer Leviathan V2 Pro Soundbar has a Camera that Tracks Your Every Move—For What?

Razer unveiled a lot of new products via the CES 2023 showcase of the company, but one device stood out among the rest, and it is the controversial Leviathan V2 Pro soundbar. It is because it has a built-in infrared camera in front of the home speaker, and it raises some alarms for people in the showcase, particularly regarding privacy and security.

Razer's Leviathan V2 Pro Soundbar has a Camera

Razer's CES 2023 showcase debuted multiple products from its innovations including the Blade laptop computers series, the Kiyo Pro Ultra webcam, its Project Carol gaming chair, and the Leviathan V2 Pro.

If you bore witness to Razer's showcase or were able to watch its presentation, you may have noticed something odd from the Leviathan V2 Pro soundbar, and it is the infrared camera mounted in front.

Yes, there is a camera built-in the speaker, and one would think that it is something that should not be included on soundbars.

The Leviathan V2 Pro features AI technology to deliver the best possible sound output from the device, as well as immersive 3D immersive audio for users. The soundbar is available on Razer's website for $399.

Surround Sound to Track Your Movement?

A camera on a soundbar sounds fishy for some, but Razer promises that its IR tracker will only use it to monitor a person's movement, to deliver the best optimal sound for their setups.

It features the THX 7.1 surround sound feature for users, which will adapt to a person's position or location at home or in their space to deliver the experience.

Razer was recently involved in an issue regarding data leaks, but won the lawsuit filed against them, and this may be one of the reasons for some speculations regarding its latest camera-tracking tech available on the Leviathan V2 Pro.

Razer and its Latest Offers

From the many offers for gaming, Razer is still one of the top choices for gamers to get their peripherals and accessories to achieve their desired setup and experience. The company offers some of the top-rated products in the market, with the renowned Naga gaming mice series' latest release of the V2 Pro centering on a highly-customizable interface for all.

Razer has also recently ventured towards new gaming experiences like mobile with its Kishi V2 Pro portable controllers that users may connect to their smartphones.

Also, there is the company's famed smart glasses available for all to get the augmented experience, with the Anzu that recently went on a holiday sale.

The company is thriving in terms of its products and experiences it imparted to the world, but now sees eyebrows raised on its latest integration of a camera on its tabletop soundbar. The Leviathan V2 Pro promises to only track movements for its surround sound feature, to deliver the best audio for its owners, but yet to be tested soon.
