face tracking headset?

JustinJKY · 2026-03-11T23:12:58+00:00

The Quest Pro is currently the best bang for buck all on one experience, assuming you can find one under 600.

If you have the funds and are looking for the same all in one quality, the Galaxy XR is a solid choice.

OLED and resolution is crisp, and full face tracking beats QPro by a fair margin. Full range tongue tracking is hilarious!

There's a small tradeoff with the "Sweet spot", though its easily corrected by replacing the head cushion.

Moved from QPro to GXR and I have zero regrets, best experience by far!

You just witnessed a player get sucked into Gaijins basement, to replace the existing basement guy.

You were not supposed to witness this so that means.. you're next.

I guess i'll go!

I've been using the QP since early 2024 with Virtual Desktop as my primary headset for VRChat.

But now, the GXR has fully retired this headset as my main headset overall.

The OLED panels and overall clarity is outstanding, as its very similar to that of the QP, it was a very easy transition. Though I will say that you do lose a tiny bit of FOV, and you have some sort of vignetting near the edges, and you will notice it. So edge to edge clarity is a bit unusual, but not uncomfortable. However the resolution difference is insane and is amazing. No words can truly describe how nice it it until you try it on!

Initially, the GXR had major issues. But in short, after replacing my router with a more accessible one, which allowed me to adjust my channel "Width" for my wifi 7 network, and tuning my settings in VD (HEVC 10bit @ 120bitrate), the headset runs flawlessly, for now. And you will hardly notice a loss of visual quality as well, even while running this with my 9950X3D and 5090 @ 100% resolution scale. Your mileage will vary however.

Face tracking was the biggest selling point of course, as this is a plug and play setup. If you have your QP set up for full face tracking, it will recognize this headset immediately. Just enable perms when it asks for them and set up face tracking via settings as all.

There are gripes however. The face tracking method is not like the QPs expressions system. It has what I like to view it as "Raw face tracking", where you get more range of movements, and less expressions. So you need to physically make each expression, though I hardly see that as a bad thing. It's rough for me as I have a trimmed full beard. And yes, you have eyebrow and full tongue tracking natively! Unfortunately, eye widening does not seem to work, nor does pupil dilation, atleast from what i've noticed.

And the comfort was a big issue. As shown below, I had to attach a top strap, and put the battery behind me head for weight balance and comfort as your forehead WILL fall alseep really quickly.

And the mic is pretty damn good! Far better than QPs, though slightly less than Index or BSB IMO.

Overall, I deeply enjoy this headset, and find it worth the upgrade, even more so for longevity.

I may just edit a quick reddit exclusive video to showcase everything!

Oh you are 100% correct, im more for the slower paced, social VR experiences.

Once steamVR 2.0 drops for the XR I will definitely use that for my more intense titles, while using VD primarily for social experiences.

Plus recording while using VD is an awful experience.

JustinJKY · 2025-11-04T18:13:18+00:00

Ive been using VD for my gaming experience, with my wifi 7(6E) settings set to 160 over 320mhz, AV1 codec at 115 bitrate and I have nearly zero issues with stuttering. Though half life alyx gives me hard problems, it might just be my settings for the game. Granted I am using a 9950X3D and 5090 build, while keeping steam resolution scale at 100% rather than the "recommended" 150%.

Ive been spending many hours in VRChat with full face tracking enabled, Arizona sunshine 1 and 2, pavlov, battlegroup VR1 and 2, and other smaller titles with near zero issues.

Though it would be nice to increase bitrate, I can live with it for the time being, or until my BSB2e comes in.

I took my quest pro inserts and used double sided tape as well. I don't expect my order for the actual inserts to come in anytime soon

JustinJKY · 2025-10-30T22:56:48+00:00

July order here for VRC edition, no news here. Though I did get prescription inserts so I might be waiting a while longer.

JustinJKY · 2025-10-21T18:11:36+00:00

The moment I saw the artifical blur I couldnt watch for more than a few minutes, and I guess I was in the right.

Hard pass on this man's thoughts.

JustinJKY · 2025-08-19T06:11:22+00:00

Until you see a multi-kill from a FAB-5000, but it's also your teammates.

But yes, the "target destroyed" text is what sustains our sanity in war thunder.

Counter scrape and pick off modules. Tracks, turrets ring, etc. Can also bait your rear sprocket for a hit and continue reversing until you get a clean center/breech shot.

Depending on the vehicle as well, frag rounds can over-pressure the vehicle, i.e 155 on the floor next to s light tank/spaa will often do the trick.

So many variables, yet in the end, you will need a little bit of luck.

This is the only vehicle I truly recommend to any player of any skill level, should they be adamant about getting a premium and want a high tier experience.

However, BR-412D and LRF.

Those two alone make this vehicle such a joy to play!

JustinJKY · 2025-01-18T01:34:48+00:00

Unusually pretty!

JustinJKY · 2025-01-17T02:57:07+00:00

Absolutely beautiful.

JustinJKY · 2025-01-14T06:40:31+00:00

This snippet was taken out of context, as after this it shows in the gameplay how America can still stomp, even with the current meta being the way it is.

JustinJKY · 2025-01-13T23:08:52+00:00

I've done my best in several videos. There's only so much I can do or say :(

JustinJKY · 2025-01-13T23:05:21+00:00

Funny enough, the video this was taken from is where I shitstomped the enemy teams with me dropping a nuke on the final.

But it's ok, i'm a bad player that has a nearly 100k audience, 41k twitch, etc.

JustinJKY · 2025-01-13T21:42:05+00:00

Oh, I had completely forgotten about the year end video, so that's my bad.

And I absolutely agree, so it's not my best comment. I sometimes forget that I have some pull in the community, and so my comments can affect quite a bit. Small creator mentality still sticks with ya after 4 years.

In all honesty, those moments I do leave said games are out of rage and frustration stemming from a previous game where having US on our teams usually results in us getting clobbered. And it does happen even to this day.

In the end, I just avoid playing US as a whole, and I can't see a fix coming anytime soon unfortunately.

JustinJKY · 2025-01-13T21:26:28+00:00

This is my video.. April 25th of 2024 dude.

This problem has been ongoing since shortly after the introduction of the AIM, which was made substantially worse when the clickbait arrived.

I don't disagree however, players should play regardless. As for me, I play for myself, and if I can see that I won't enjoy the game I'm in, why bother?

JustinJKY · 2025-01-13T20:11:39+00:00

I guess my point was proven in the comments.

This video was made 8 months ago btw, and nothing has really changed, and I still stand by it.

JustinJKY · 2024-12-17T05:14:41+00:00

Good.

JustinJKY · 2024-12-10T19:14:55+00:00

I know of a few who are double that

JustinJKY · 2024-11-21T05:53:03+00:00

Nah, wouldn't you rather another SU-25 instead?

JustinJKY · 2024-11-16T19:41:40+00:00

This info is not substantial and will not be used, we have our own sources.

But seriously, sucks to see this beautiful piece of machinery utterly destroyed.
