Apple is previewing iOS 18 by highlighting a host of new accessibility features included in the update. Eye tracking assistive technology is very expensive so it will be interesting to see how well Apple’s eye tracking works especially with third party applications. I think Vocal Shortcuts will be very useful for people with aphasia. As someone who gets motion sickness when looking at my phone I wonder how effective Vehicle Motion Cues will be.
Assistive technology companies like EyeGaze charge a lot for their products. This is because there is a lot of tech to ensure that it works accurately and is compatible with third party applications. Hopefully, Apple can lower the costs in the future for people with disabilities who use eye tracking technology.
