With Eye Tracking, you can control iPad using just your eyes. An onscreen pointer follows the movement of your eyes, and when you look at an item and hold your gaze steady or dwell, you perform an action, such as a tap. All data used to set up and control Eye Tracking is processed on device.
Eye Tracking uses the built-in, front-facing camera on iPad. For best results, make sure that the camera has a clear view of your face and that your face is adequately lit. iPad should be on a stable surface about a foot and a half away from your face.
Eye Tracking is available with . See > Accessibility > Eye Tracking, then adjust any of the following:
Smoothing: Increase this value to make the movement of the pointer smoother. Or decrease this value to make the pointer more responsive.
Snap to Item: Have the Eye Tracking pointer automatically move to the item on the screen that’s closest to where you’re looking.
Zoom on Keyboard Keys: When you dwell on the keyboard, zoom in on the section of the keyboard you’re looking at. Dwell again on a key to tap it.
Auto-Hide: Show the Eye Tracking pointer when you hold your gaze steady for the amount of time specified. When your eyes are moving, the pointer automatically fades.
Dwell Control: Turn Dwell Control on or off. To adjust settings for Dwell Control, such as the default dwell action and the duration of the dwell timer, see Accessibility features for mobility on iPad
