Tracker HTC VIVE Focus 3 Facial Tracker Black 11.6 g

The HTC VIVE Focus 3 Facial Tracker is a lightweight accessory (11.6 g) designed to attach to head-mounted displays and capture facial expressions and mouth movements in real time. The tracker projects those expressions onto avatars with minimal latency, adding a layer of non-verbal communication to VR interactions across education, healthcare, HR and creative industries.

Advantages

The facial tracker precisely captures true-to-life facial expressions and synchronises them with avatar movements with near-zero latency. Its low weight and compact design make it suitable for extended sessions, while accurate mouth tracking supports performance capture and animation workflows. The device enhances virtual collaboration and soft-skills training by enabling more natural emotional signalling.

Suitable for

• Virtual meetings and collaboration (VIVE Sync, virtual events, chat groups)
• Soft-skills and presentation training (customer service, workplace etiquette)
• Performance capture for games, animation, AR and VR productions
• Education and healthcare applications requiring non-verbal communication

How to use

Power and pairing are handled through the headset or the headset’s accessory interface; ensure firmware and VR software support facial tracking features. During use, run a supported application (virtual meetings, training software, or performance-capture tools) and enable facial tracking in the application settings so avatar expressions reflect captured movements in real time.

Recommendations

For best results, keep the tracker positioned securely and unobstructed on the headset, ensure the headset firmware and VR applications are up to date, and test tracking in a controlled environment before live sessions or performance capture work.
