Razer’s Project Hazel face mask might not be available to buy just yet, but interested buyers can test out how they’ll look wearing the mask with the new Project Hazel Instagram filter. Ever since the mask was first announced, Project Hazel has generated massive attention and interest, and the company has now confirmed the face mask is due to become available to buy later this year.
Instagram filters and effects are nothing new and have proven to be a popular addition to the image and photo-sharing platform. Whether it is checking to see which Disney character you are, or finding out where your soulmate is, there’s an Instagram filter available. Now, there’s also one to try on Razer’s tech-driven face covering.
The Project Hazel filter works the same as any other effect on Instagram, so those already familiar with the process shouldn’t find it too difficult to give the face mask a spin. For those new to Instagram filters, the Project Hazel effect can only be accessed through the Instagram mobile apps. Once downloaded and signed in, head to Razer’s Instagram profile. From here, tap on the Effects (smiley face) icon and then on the Project Hazel video. Once the video loads, tap the Try It button at the bottom. At which point, the device’s camera will launch, allowing the user to see how the Project Hazel face mark looks when worn.
The Real Project Hazel Inches Closer
Razer announced the launch of the Instagram filter during an E3 2021 presentation. The same presentation also took a moment to highlight the levels of attention the mask has received since it was first announced. At the time of unveiling, Project Hazel was just that, a project. More specifically, a concept with no real indication it would enter production, let alone be released. However, after various updates and revisions, Razer has now confirmed it will be releasing a version of the face mask in the fourth quarter of this year.
While the Instagram filter is not going to be as good as the real thing, it is still useful for those looking to make sure that investing in a mask like this is going to be worth it. Razer hasn’t confirmed how much the mask will cost, but its many features and selling points are likely to make it a more expensive purchase than other face masks. With the Instagram filter, and the option to share the results with others, those interested in Razer’s face mask can get a better idea of whether it is the right mask for their individual face.
