Meta Quest 3 Open Facial Interface — Works with Meta Quest 3 — Keeps Physical Room in Sight — Increases Visibility and Comfort

I bought this open interface for VR exercise because of sweat and lens fog. I even made a little felt removable "cover" attached with velcro for games where I want full immersion without havin to swap the interface all the time and risk breaking the plastic tabs. You won't get me that way, Meta! Lol.Now that I'm used to the open interface, though, I don't find myself using the cover I made very often. My mind mostly ignores the open sides unless I intentionally focus on them to touch base with my surroundings (which is very useful).It serves the purpose very well of keeping me cooler when I'm doing exercise. I tried a silicone face shield and a microfiber face shield. Neither was comfortable or as effective for me as the open interfacce and good air flow.Obviously the price is ridiculous for what it is, but I didn't see any alternatives so I had to bite the bullet.

+ Less Sweat+ Less Motion Sickness+ Perfect for Mixed Reality+ Ok for Virtual Reality- Needs another cover if you don't like the material- expensive- occasional reflection or glare under bright lightsA must-have accessory *for a certain kind of VR user*. If you get motion sick, sweaty hot, or do a lot of MR you need this! Having the sides open is just better nearly all of the time. Its not like that black tunnel vision is actually more immersive. Checking your phone, not tripping on the cat, and passthrough menu is just better. I already had a velcro/plether face pad from AMVR and that fit right on, but the fabric one .... is fabric. Even regular VR is a trade-off that I think is better.

I frequently use my headset for exercise. I sweat heavily, and with any closed facepiece my lenses would always fog over. Now they don't, and I barely notice the open sides once I start exercising and concentrating on what I'm doing.

I've bought more "comfy" facial interfaces than I’d like to admit, and for the longest time, I avoided the open-style designs—big mistake! After using my Quest 3 for over a year, I can’t believe I waited this long to try one.This is hands down the most comfortable interface I’ve worn. No more overheating or getting ridiculously sweaty during AR/VR workouts. What really surprised me is that it still maintains immersion incredibly well. I’ve found myself even more lost in games like Racket Club and Supernatural because my peripheral vision blends seamlessly with my real-world surroundings. It almost feels like I’m just wearing glasses.Even in full VR experiences, I’m so dialed in that the open sides don’t bother me—if anything, I appreciate that my face can finally breathe.TL;DR: Do not hesitate to buy this interface! It’s seriously fantastic all around—especially if you value comfort and breathability.

I was concerned about the openness of the sides. I don't notice it at all. My face does not get anywhere close to as warm as it would before. Great product. Fits great on the unit.

I'll start of by saying that the price is ridiculous for what this is. A super lightweight peice of plastic and 2 fabric paddings is really all it is, and I don't think it should be $40.But...if you are someone like me, who uses the Quest 3 in Mixed Reality a good amount (Ballgame while doing dishes, following recipe while cooking, Thrill of the Fight 2) then this is the best interface. Having airflow for your entire face, and the contouring fit make this so comfortable for mixed reality use especially when working out or doing something where that extra bit of peripheral vision is helpful.I do wish that there was a silicon face pad included with the 2 fabric ones, I don't find the included pads to be uncomfortable. Bonus points for surviving the washing machine with no problems.

Great for games/activities that have you work up a sweat, but you do sacrifice some immersion due to the openess of your peripheral vision with this facial interface.It's great for glasses too; it has an integrated spring mechanism that helps keep it both comfortable and in place if you wear glasses, so you don't have to adjust them for glasses yourself, they do it automatically based on how tight you set your head strap. Your glasses will still probably fog up during intense movement, but they'll also go back to normal faster with the increased airflow.Also, this one is way harder to remove than the included one once installed. I was able to squeeze the bottom part and get it to come off around the nose, but it really holds on near the head strap arms. I use a very small flat tip screwdriver (one out of a multi-tool works great) with a twisting/turning motion to gently pry this facial interface out of the Quest 3, pops right out, doesn't take much twisting of the screwdriver. This is especially important given the spring mechanisms are in the way and appear to be easy to break during removals.
