Apple has announced the addition of Accessibility features including Eye Tracking, Music Haptics, and Vocal Shortcuts to improve accessibility.
Eye Tracking allows users to control different parts of their iPhone or iPad using only their eyes, supported by the front-facing camera to track eye movements and the use of controls to activate desired functions.
Music Haptics enables individuals with hearing impairments to access music by utilizing the Taptic Engine in the iPhone to create vibrations customized to match the music in Apple Music.
Vocal Shortcuts allow users to set voice recordings as shortcut commands on their iPhone.
Vehicle Motion Cues display points on the screen that move in accordance with the vehicle’s motion, reducing sensory conflicts that can lead to motion sickness.
Furthermore, Apple has enhanced accessibility features in CarPlay and visionOS as well. These features are expected to be available starting late this year, coinciding with the release of iOS 18.
**TLDR: Apple introduces new Accessibility features including Eye Tracking, Music Haptics, and Vocal Shortcuts to enhance user experience on iPhone and iPad, with additional improvements in CarPlay and visionOS expected to roll out with iOS 18.**
