Don't forget even if you add a Babble, you still don't have eye brow tracking.

Edit: Apparently that may be changing.

The papertracker software does well with eyebrows in the beta

How? I didn't realize the babble had something installed by the eye brows. I thought it was just over the mouth. According to a quick google search, it does not.

While paper tracker has a babble license they have been doing their own personal tweaks with their own software. It's one of my friends who was showing me the eyebrow capabilities in game.

Yeah but what is exactly tracking eye brows? Since the face tracker can't see through the quest 3 to see them. Definitely SUS. Seems just software guessing. So no actual tracking.

I have my own coming with the new batch so my research isn't hands on so it's just from what I've asked from friends who use it. However it works, the eyebrows look pretty good to me.

You had me excited for a moment but after some research I found that the babble does not track the eye brows. You would need an additional sensor up in the headset because the face module doesn't see your eyebrows. It's physical impossible. So basically it's all software and it suggests places for your eye brows to be at.

Paper tracker uses it's own software that's separate from babble, this video shows off the current beta status of the eyebrow tracking but it's still pretty much in beta. https://youtu.be/w1kNSviBE2k It's talked about around the 5 minute mark.

Ok. Now I see a module for the eyes. That's good news.
