The first time, it was "Project Fiona" turning into the Razer Edge (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/08/razer-edge-hands-on/). Then in 2014, it was a crazy-looking modular computer codenamed "Project Christine (http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/07/razer-project-christine-hands-on/)." This year, there's no tease. No project name.
This year, Razer's announcing an open-source software and hardware initiative known as "OSVR." First: Yes, there's a headset, and yes, I used it. Second: That acronym stands for -- you guessed it -- "Open-Source Virtual Reality."
