Capabilities

Performance can vary depending on the software you use, your face shape, lighting, facial hair, calibration or headset movement so I can’t guarantee perfect results for everyone. For Baballoonia, the current capabilities / problems are as follows:

Eye:

Eye movement – perfect, smooth, and reliable
Blinking – works well with adjusted thresholds; short blinks may be missed but rarely noticeable
Winking – mostly reliable with proper calibration
Half-closed eyes – not supported with current version
Eyebrows – not supported with current version

Face:

Expressions like smiling, puffed/sucked cheeks, showing teeth, mouth opening, tongue movement (up/down/left/right), and more work extremely well
Occasionally, mouth opening can trigger tongue detection, usually fixed by adjusting thresholds

Prescription lenses

Only current-generation prescription lenses from VROptician/VROptiker (roughly manufactured after 2020/2021) are supported.

If you own VROptician inserts, you can check your version here

If you do not own the current VROptician inserts and still want to use my kit, the only realistic option is to purchase current inserts from VROptiker. With the code „FaceFocusVR“ you get a 10% discount on Index lenses (This is NOT an affiliate code).

Hardware Requirements

I can’t give you exact details about the CPU or GPU requirements. Image processing, no matter what software you use, always uses some resources.

If your system is already running at its limit, you will lose FPS when using the eye or face tracking software. If your PC is not at its limit, you should not notice any major FPS difference.
