HTC VIVE Facial Tracker for Virtual Reality

I get to be goofy in Vrchat I love it

The software is a mess, HTC is trying to hardware lock it to their garbage headset *after* release when they realised people don't want to use a vive. It works okay overall, there's no calibration needed, and once you get the finnicky software set up it just works.

I'm using this on my Vive pro Eye and I gotta say this thing works a lot better than I thought. The set up is a little more complicated than it should be, but that's just vive at this point. There's a meme in the VR community where with vive "it just started working out of nowhere" type scenario happens a lot. Or sometimes it just breaks out of nowhere as well. Overall, software aside I would say this piece of hardware is amazing. If anyone has troubles with the tracker being janky, or not working 100% I would suggest changing USB's or making sure there isn't too much happening in your USB connections. I needed to give it a dedicated USB root hub for all the VR connections, because it was drawing a lot of power, with full body tracking and face tracking and eye tracking and vr powering and HiRes audio powering as well on top of all that.

Works great for the price, but don’t expect perfect accuracy 100% of the time.

Bought this to use it with my Vive Pro Eye, and it didn’t disappoint, the tracking is very good, with hiccups only occurring every now and then. But the hiccups can be fixed very fast, and easily, so no complaining about that really. The only real complaint I have is that it “attaches” to the headset using a sticky substance, which is most likely going to wear off after some time. But other than that, I love this thing! 100% recommend for anyone who plays a lot of social VR
