HTC VIVE Focus 3 Facial Tracker

The HTC Vive Focus 3 Facial Tracker is an add-on module specifically designed for the Vive Focus 3 all-in-one (AIO) VR headset, bringing real-time facial expression tracking into standalone virtual reality. By capturing subtle movements of the mouth, lips, cheeks, and jaw, this accessory delivers a whole new level of expressiveness and realism to social interactions, professional training, and research applications.

Key Features:

1. Seamless Integration with Vive Focus 3

• • Easy Setup
    The module attaches to the bottom portion of the Vive Focus 3 headset, requiring minimal effort to install. Once connected, the system automatically recognizes and configures the accessory, reducing setup time.
  • Ergonomic & Compact
    Designed to maintain the Vive Focus 3’s comfort and balance, the Facial Tracker adds little extra weight or protrusion. Users can wear the headset for extended sessions without feeling encumbered.

2. Advanced Facial Expression Tracking

• • High-Precision Sensor Array
    The Facial Tracker uses a near-infrared camera and deep-learning–based algorithms to capture subtle movements of the lower face, including lips, cheeks, jawline, and even the tongue (when partially visible).
  • 60+ Blendshape Analysis
    HTC’s software converts sensor data into blendshapes, enabling real-time avatar expressions.

3. Enhanced Communication & Immersion

• • Expressive Avatars
    Whether in VR meetings, social hangouts, or multiplayer games, the Facial Tracker adds a human touch to virtual avatars—facilitating more authentic smiles, frowns, and lip-sync for voice chat.
  • Natural Interaction
    Subtle cues like lip pursing or cheek raises can now be accurately captured, enabling deeper nonverbal communication that goes beyond simple head or hand gestures.
