Please note: Device with FaceID required (iPhone XR and newer models, except the iPhone SE). Topology, the leading provider of augmented reality and optical measurements technology in the eyewear market, has re-imagined the way people shop for eyewear. Our 3-D Face Scan app unlocks the convenience and safety of online shopping with the professional guidance and precise optical measurements of the in-store experience. This is Topology's Touchless Optical Platform. Our groundbreaking process begins with an incredibly accurate 3D scan of your face, made possible by the amazing FaceID sensor embedded in compatible Apple devices. Our algorithms extract all your facial measurements, compare them against a growing database of branded eyewear products, and return the subset that are perfectly-tailored to you - viewable on the retailer's e-commerce website or on our retail iPad app and seamlessly integrated into the in-store shopping experience. Topology also uses your 3D scan to measure, with amazing precision, all necessary 3D optical measurements, enabling the delivery of even the most complicated and sophisticated of Rx lenses. For the first time, vision needs such as a strong Rx, high astigmatism, and/or progressive lenses are dispensed with unrivaled clarity.

Do you find the comfort of your VR system less than ideal? Do you find it difficult to find the best eye alignment (e.g. the sweet spot)? Is your field of view (FOV) limited because the shape of your face does not allow your eyes to be closer to the lenses? If so, you have come to the right place! Oblik Design allows you to design and order Virtual Reality facial interfaces / face gaskets that are fully customized for you, offering you unprecedented comfort and performance. We accomplish this by basing the design on the specific geometry of your face, as captured by your iPhone, in a private and secure manner. We currently support Meta Quest 3, Quest 2, and Valve Index VR systems, with more systems planned. We invite you to download the app, check out the example designs in 3D, see photos of actual products, try out the face scanning tutorial and the actual face scanning process, all without registering or sending any data out. When you are ready, we make registration simple and convenient by using Sign in with Apple. As a registered user, you can request complimentary Virtual Prototypes that allow you to preview customized VR face gasket designs before you decide to place any orders. Apple Pay is supported as the payment method.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 3 at 4.4 against Oblik Design's 3.9. 3 also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (713 vs 30). Oblik Design's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 40%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3 holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3 has 713 ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of 3's written reviews are positive against 61% of Oblik Design's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

3 ships an update monthly, Oblik Design every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
