Quest 3 Open Facial Interface | NDIS Safety & Airflow Aid

Experience Mixed Reality safely and comfortably with the Meta Quest 3 Open Facial Interface. This innovative accessory is a vital piece of assistive technology modification that removes the side light-blockers found on standard interfaces. By allowing you to see your peripheral surroundings and increasing airflow, it supports NDIS participants who struggle with isolation, claustrophobia, or overheating during therapy.

How This Modification Supports NDIS Participants

Standard closed interfaces can feel isolating and hot. This open design addresses specific barriers to usage:

• Ensuring Situational Awareness (Safety): By leaving the sides open, users can see the floor and their immediate surroundings in their peripheral vision. This is critical for users with balance issues, mobility challenges, or anxiety, as it ensures they remain grounded in the physical world while interacting with digital therapy tools.

• Managing Sensory Regulation (Heat): Many participants with sensory processing differences cannot tolerate the heat and humidity trapped by a standard mask. This open design provides maximum airflow, keeping the face cool and preventing lens fogging, allowing for longer, more comfortable sessions.

• Reducing Anxiety & Claustrophobia: For those who find the "closed-in" feeling of VR distressing, this interface makes the experience feel less confining. It allows for natural eye contact with support workers or family members in the room, fostering social connection and reassurance.

• Enhancing Mixed Reality (MR): It is designed specifically to blend digital objects with the real world. This supports therapy goals related to navigating daily environments by keeping the real world visible.

Key Features & Benefits

• Open Peripheral Design: Removes the side blinds to allow for airflow and peripheral vision, reducing the sense of isolation and improving safety during active movement.

• Breathable & Cool: The increased ventilation prevents sweat build-up and keeps the user cool, making it ideal for high-energy physical rehabilitation or "exergaming."

• Balanced Weight Distribution: The flexible frame adapts to various facial structures and works with the headset to distribute weight evenly, reducing pressure on the forehead.

• Washable Fabric Pad: The soft fabric pad is removable and hand-washable, allowing for regular cleaning to maintain hygiene and skin health.

• Seamless Compatibility: Designed to work perfectly with the Official Charging Dock and Carrying Cases, so you don't need to disassemble your setup to charge or travel.
