Native eye tracking on the Steam Frame works in VRChat, but it is currently very barebones and limited strictly to basic gaze tracking.
Current Capabilities in VRChat
- Gaze Point Only: Valve’s OpenXR API currently exposes simple eye-look/gaze point data, letting other users see the direction your character's eyes are pointing.
- No Expressions or Blinks: Out of the box, the built-in sensors do not support blinking, winking, pupil dilation, or eyebrow movements because the system was designed primarily for foveated streaming and rendering performance rather than social VR.
- Modularity and Add-ons: Because the headset features a physical expansion port near the face area, third-party hardware developers like Paper_Tracker are working on dedicated face-tracking and enhanced eye-tracking modules to plug into the device.
