With iOS 18, you can control your iPhone and iPad with just your eyes. And iOS 18 prevents you from getting nauseous while reading on the bus or in your car.
Has Apple made technology more inclusive than ever? #shorts #accessibility #artificialintelligence
Apple has previewed new accessibility features coming to iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, and it’s an impressive lineup, powered by AI and clever design. And it’s not alone. To mark Global Accessibility Awareness Day, Google has also outlined new AI-powered accessibility features, though they’re higher concept and arguably less useful in everyday life than Apple’s. And there’s one feature that got the biggest reaction when we brought it up with friends: Motion Sickness Mode.
“AI will have a huge impact on accessibility. It represents a generational opportunity to create equality in big and small ways. AI-driven technologies can adapt to individual needs in real time and provide personalized solutions that were previously unimaginable. For example, eye-tracking features in iOS 18 are a game-changer for people with mobility impairments, allowing them to control their devices using only their eyes. This level of customization and responsiveness is only possible through advanced AI,” Mike Nellis, founder of Quiller.ai and CEO of Authentic, who describes himself as a “disabled employee,” told Lifewire via email.
iOS 18’s accessibility features aren’t all about AI, but it’s there in a noticeable way, and in Apple’s typically understated way. Most impressive is eye-tracking, which lets you control your devices with just your eyes.
