Razer said that the new Stargazer webcam will hit the market sometime in the second quarter of the year, according to The Verge. Interested buyers should prepare $200 for the high-end camera that will allow them to record high definition videos and a wide array of new features.

The Stargazer has a new 3D scanning feature that will surely please Minecraft fans. The feature was developed using the RealSense technology created by Intel.

The Razer Stargazer can capture 720p HD videos at 60 frames per second. Most high-end webcams, in today's standards, are only capable of 30 frames per second. 1080p video recordings will be treated with 30 frames per second refresh rate.

Razer also throw in some features, albeit minor ones, in the audio aspect. The webcam has a microphone with noise-cancelling features and supports dual-array recording.

In 2015, Razer closed a round of funding from Intel that boosted that company's value to $1 billion. It appears that the Razer's efforts have finally reached fruition.

The Razer Stargazer is built around the foundation laid by the SR300 camera from Intel. The camera uses RealSense technology that has an integrated AI that allows that camera to act like real human eye. This allows the camera to track depth and motion.

The Stargazer works perfectly with broadcasting softwares like XSpit, OBS and Razer Cortex: Gamecaster.

Aside from gaming, the Stargazer has other applications as well. Razer claims that the webcam can be used in making Skype video chats as well real-time motion capture technologies such as FaceRig. Other features of the Stargazer include object 3D scanning and facial recognition which has several security applications.

At the heart of the Razer Stargazer is a sixth generation Intel Core processor. The webcam supports USB 3.0 for connectivity purposes. According to Tech Crunch, it currently compatible with Windows 10 operating system only. It is still unknown whether Razer will support other platforms, like Android and Mac, in the future.
