Two features that are really clever from a product perspective: 1. Using the spatial cameras/features to scan your own face. I'm surprised Quest 3 doesn't do this... As soon as I saw the concept, I thought, "DUH! So smart it's obvious in hindsight!" 2. EyeSight, to enable people to still "see" your face when you wear the device. Very cool... As a Quest 3 user in mixed reality, I think I freak my family out when I walk around and talk to them. Really neat!

what would be the use of face scanning? Also, sets of eye stickers already exist for the quest 3

  An "eye sticker" is hardly a replacement for a display of your actual face.

    No one would ever notice.

  Many people like being able to see people's eyes when another person is talking to them. And a live image of eyes would be considered better than a sticker. The face scanning allows the entire face to be shown to other users in the virtual environment. Presumable an image made up of the face scan + the live view of the eyes

The Quest 3 cannot do that, its depth sensor is far too low resolution to scan a face with a good fidelity level. Unfortunately, it also means the quest 3 probably will probably never be very good at dynamic occlusion in mixed reality (ie: hiding partially virtual objects that are behind real life objects).

  Just use the FaceID camera on users’ iPhones.

    I'm sure Meta will be very happy helping Apple selling more iPhones.

      Meta actually do promote the use of an iPhone in their codec avatar videos to capture a face. Granted, none of that is available to consumers yet. Epic as well, recommend an iPhone for their meta human capture. Feuds don’t often stop pragmatism.

  That makes me a bit sad, but I appreciate the reality check. Are you working in this space?
