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.

    Are you referring to eye tracking?

    I imagine it will not be possible for a third-party developer to require eye-tracking to be enabled. It would certainly be ripe for abuse.

    Game over. Want an extra life? Watch this 45-second ad. Be sure to look at the logo each time it moves to a new corner of the screen.

    Would be such bad PR!
