Apple is working on a visionOS 3 feature that would allow Apple Vision Pro users to soon be able to scroll through content with their eyes, according to Bloomberg.
The report says Apple is working on a feature in its upcoming visionOS 3 software that would eliminate the need for hand gestures when browsing websites, reading, and other activities.
Apple is planning to add eye scrolling capabilities to all of the default apps on the Vision Pro, and it is developing APIs that will let third-party developers do the same.
Vision Pro users can already navigate through the visionOS operating system by looking at an item and then using a hand gesture to “tap” it, making eye-based scrolling a logical extension of that existing functionality.
The Apple Vision Pro is equipped with multiple cameras that are used to track a user’s eyes and for iris scanning for biometric authentication. Apple already offers an accessibility feature on its iPhone and iPad devices that allow users to move an onscreen pointer that follows the movement of their eyes.
We’ll see all that visionOS 3 has to offer during the Worldwide Developers Conference keynote on Monday, June 9.
