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, starting with the Valve Index.

While this project focuses exclusively on hardware, it leverages proven open-source software from EyeTrackVR and Project Babble, and is compatible with any software that works with a UVC stream. For now, FaceFocusVR is designed specifically to enhance social VR experiences, such as those in VRChat.

My goal with this project 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 potential future implementation.
