FaceFocusVR is a project I developed to provide a more seamless and mostly „plug-and-play“ solution for retrofitting eye and face tracking to existing VR headsets.

While FaceFocusVR focuses exclusively on the hardware, it leverages proven open-source software like EyeTrackVR for tracking. For now, FaceFocusVR is designed specifically to enhance social VR experiences, such as in VRChat — and is currently built for use with the Valve Index.

My goal with FaceFocusVR is to encourage the broader adoption of face and eye tracking. Both technologies hold incredible potential – not just for enhancing social VR experiences, but also for enabling advanced techniques like foveated rendering in the future. Although foveated rendering is not currently supported by this project, it is on EyeTrackVR’s roadmap for future implementation.
