Control iPad with an eye-tracking device

You can control iPad using just your eyes with an MFi eye-tracking device, so that a pointer moves to follow where you’re looking onscreen. You can even perform actions—such as a tap—using an extended gaze. Some eye trackers also support input from physical switches.

  1. Follow the device manufacturer’s instructions to connect your eye-tracking device to iPad (with the Lightning or USB-C connector, depending on your iPad model).

  2. Complete setup using the device’s companion app.

  3. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch, then turn on AssistiveTouch.

  4. To customize how you use eye-tracking, tap Devices (below Pointer Devices), tap the name of the device, then do any of the following:

    • Perform actions using a switch: Tap Customize Additional Buttons (if supported by your device).

    • Reach and activate onscreen items more easily: Turn on Snap to Item.

    • Fade the pointer away: Turn on Auto-Hide. When Auto-Hide’s on, you can set how long to gaze before the pointer reappears, and how visible it is when you’re not using it.

  5. Do any of the following:
